Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • User sets user interface to a English other than American English (en), example British English (en-gb)
  • User goes to create a item and the interface will default to creating their Label/Description/Aliases in their chosen user interface language

What happens?:

  • Item is created in the English language variant
  • User with American language set will see the item as a Q description compared to a English label

What should have happened instead?:

  • Native fallback picking up the other english variants (without waiting for PiBot to duplicate the labels)

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
