The description of this ticket seems inaccurate. Languages have never been added to Names.php for Wikibase, as far as I know. Languages are added to $wmgExtraLanguageNames for Wikidata and Commons because it's not acceptable to add them to Names.php (for some unknown reason).

Nikki added a comment to T320889: Use the same list of languages for monolingual text and lexemes (remove $additionalTermLanguages).

As part of T341409 this has been (mostly) done. WikibaseLexeme, for backwards compatibility, still supports the following language codes which we don't support for monolingual text values:

bat-smg
be-x-old
de-formal
es-formal
fiu-vro
hu-formal
nl-informal
roa-rup
simple
zh-classical
zh-min-nan
zh-yue

Nikki added a comment to T372702: editors are repeatedly getting logged out (August 2024).

I have centralauth_Token cookies on both computers where it's happened, both have expiry times in August next year.

It happens while the browser is still running for me. When it happened yesterday, I was editing Wikidata and when I tried to save my edits, it gave me an error saying that it had failed because I was no longer logged in.

Nikki added a comment to T229918: Add tags parameter to Wikibase APIs that create redirects.

I found this ticket because the Merge gadget is not tagging all of its edits, e.g. here the edit which created the redirect does not have the "merge.js" tag.

Nikki added a project to T371990: label and description missing when a entering a lexeme id into wbsearchentities: Wikidata Lexicographical data.

This is because L1234 does not have lemma in English or any languages in fallback chain. You can enter an item QID without English label or description (random example: Q29323432), and label and descriptions will not display either.

Yeah the same people/account gets logged out several times over the span of a few days.
