@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.

But is there a real use case for monolingual properties in those languages? If there's only a one time use, then you should use mis (miscellaneous), because changing the code so minority languages can be used will make this a significant change.
If there are valid use cases then please provide them, so WMDE can make a better judgment if it's worth changing the code to make this possible.
Besides langcom approval, we also need language codes. So far only Gallo has been provided.

@Esc3300 LocalNamesEn.php is part of CLDR. That's not a WMDE extension.
The corresponding change was approved by @Raymond and not WMDE

It's not the query service gui that adds the +
When you use the bigdata interface the + gets added as well.

The problem is that the + gets encoded again. It becomes %2B

@Eugene233 When requesting new languages always specify what you want to use them for: Monolingual properties or Lexemes or Labels/Description/Aliases as the developer needs to know where to add them in the code.
If you want to use the language outside Wikidata, you need to contact LangCom (not via Phabricator) what you need to do to get the language added for use on all Wikimedia projects.

This is blocked on LangCom approval for the remaining languages.

@Esc3300 My patch was denied for 2 reasons:
- I used da instead of nl (which has been fixed)
- There is not enough proof of consensus in this task (this is something I can't fix.
Added missing translations. Language codes that are present in CLDR need to be updated upstream, language codes not present in CLDR can be added to LocalNamesNl.php

No. It's only available for monolingual properties. Labels/aliases/descriptions aren't properties and thus not supported. If it's needed, a new ticket is needed for that.

Ideally these changes should be added to Cldr

Language name is correct in CLDR (in LocalNamesEn.php).
Not used for Lexemes, but added as a monolingual language code. Will remove it there.
Since this was created by a langcom member, I assume this can be considered as approved by LangCom
Looks like the language dropdown is using ULS and not the monolingual language dropdowns from Wikidata. So this is more for the SDC team and not for the Language codes team.

I think the list of disallowed languages can be something like:

Which steps can run parallel ?
