enwiki vs. beta labs page with no language links showing "Add links" missing
Page on beta with no language links should show "Add links" but does not.
See screen shot.
This seems to have happened recently, we saw this working correctly at the Hackathon in Amsterdam.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Attached:
wait, it works fine for me. You need to be logged in to get the "add links". The widget requires the user to be logged in on Wikidata and the client "Wikipedia".
Can you give me an example that does not work? "Think Like a Cat" works for me.
The lack of the "Add links" caused a failure of a browser test where it was known that the browser was properly logged in.
Might be a race condition though, I'll check a little further, thanks.

Add links missing in IE9 view
This screen shot definitely shows "Add links" missing for a logged-in user on a page with no language links in IE9.
Attached:
We supposedly "broke" this with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/63393 as the widget doesn't work with these old browsers. If you still got it to work in IE9 (in production, not on labs), please let me/ us know so that we can put in a work around, but for me it never worked in IE9.
(In reply to comment #8)
The problem is still present.
Of course it is, as this bug is marked as WONTFIX.
We can't really fix this as Internet Explorer 9 (and older versions) don't support the technologies the "Add links" widget requires. (See #7)
I see. But I still think that there should be some workaround for this. There are a lot of people (not including me btw.) that are using for example IE9 and are now not able to add links to articles.
