This is not what users expect when they uncheck the option "Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist". They expect no Wikidata edits to show on Wikipedia.
If the option does nothing remove it, otherwise change the label so it's more clear for users what the option does.

Issue also occurs on nlwiki, I start editing in VE, switch to wikitext editor (using the drop down and choosing Wikitext editor) and there's no option to switch back. Which is pretty annoying, because some things are easier in VE and some things easier in the old wikitext editor.

On https://mnw.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%80%91%E1%80%AC%E1%80%99%E1%80%BA%E1%80%95%E1%80%9C%E1%80%AD%E1%80%80%E1%80%BA:fr-preposition I do get an error.

addInterwikiLinkToMainMenuI tested this and when I click on add interlanguage links I get redirected to the corresponding Wikidata item. (I tested it on https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:uk-1928_superseded_spelling_of ) and both logged in and not logged in. So doesn't sounds like a software issue.

I think the title of the task is wrong.
@Heberlei : Monolingual text and labels are 2 different things. rap is supported for monolingual text as shown by Nikki, but it's not available for Labels/Descriptions/Aliases. Which do you want? Monolingual text or Labels/Descriptions/Aliases (aka termbox)?

This happens on the Dutch Wikipedia as well.

Issue occurrs on nlwiki, wikidata and commons. So it's not related to a specific Wiki

Don't see any code issues in this task or other things that need done by a developer.
Don't see any code issues in this task. And removing WMF staff that's automatically added isn't a good thing either.

Bot now runs in k8s and no longer in gridengine
Oct 26 2023
Looks like it's fixed. But need to check my cronjobs still work, now they've been migrated to k8s

@Aklapper The whole repo can be deleted. Tool isn't in use anymore.

No problem for me. Don't even know why I added it.

It was never removed from CLDR, so CLDR doesn't need to be repatched.
I rebased my patch for Wikibase on the current master.
Not sure if anything else needs to be done (besides approving my Wikibase patch). Not up to date with the steps that are needed nowadays for adding new monolingual languages.

Issue has been resolved somewhere yesterday.
Status page had no message there was a problem, but I did notice the Wiki error responses were much higher, so there definitely was an issue.

On nlwiki I see this on all pages with a DEFAULTSORT and we use this heavily on pages about people. We want to sort them on lastname and the article name is Firstname Lastname.
We can't edit the value for DEFAULTSORT in VE, since it's a non-existing template for VE. And in the category section of VE, no value is visible.

Issue also occurs on nlwiki
May 4 2023
Hmm...
The commit is already there, but failing on something not directly related to this change.
It can't find the DonationInterface extension.
I can't help with that.
I know a bit on where to add language codes in CLDR, but not about the tests that are done by Jenkins

The did the trick. (And of course changing <cite> to <citation>)
Still see the citation tag and the date isn't updated
Citation doesn't work on nlwiki. It then litterally shows the tag.

I've removed the mapping for gsw/als. I added it based on a request on the talk page of the gadget.

Structured data has been cleaned too.
Mar 15 2023
Checked the current live code and issue has already been fixed somewhere in 2019.
So it's only correcting existing data.
For the information template this has been fixed.
For the Structured data I filed a Bot request: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Replace_Date=1970-01-01_in_Structured_Data_of_Wikiportret_uploads
In the end the users uploading the file to commons are responsible. (This includes me). On uploading the file, a pre-filled template is placed in the text field. The users needs to fill in the missing information, categories and press submit. (I must admit there are uploads by me in the search results, so I have been negligent too)
And the date isn't invented from scratch. Unix timestamp 0 is 1970-01-01.
I'll make sure that in a new version of Wikiportret the date field is emtpy if it's 1970-01-01

Just tried it with safemode=1 and then the issue doesn't occur. So it's a gadget or userscript that causes the issue.
Disabled all my userscripts and enabled them 1 by 1.
No problems, until I enabled User:Magnus_Manske/authority_control.js by @Magnus

I need to adjust my script so it sends mail using the smtp server for tools.
And I need to migrate my wget command to curl, but that's an easy fix.

@Manuel: The term termbox languages means Labels/Aliases/Descriptions. When added, they are also available for Monolingual properties. They won't become available for Lexemes on the other hand.
