Change Details

**Problem:** There is currently no use-case for descriptions in language code `mul`. Therefore, users should not be able use add `mul` for descriptions. **Solution:** Disallow `mul` for descriptions on the API level (and therefore also via UI). **Notes:** * This could be achieved using a soft (see T289474) constraint (hardcoded, similar to T212869). **Copy of error message:** ``` The language code “mul” (multiple languages) can only be used for labels and aliases, not for descriptions. ``` **BDD:** If an editor tries to save a `mul` description then an error message is shown. GIVEN an Item WHEN an editor tries to enter a description in language code `mul` THEN the edit is not accepted AND and the error message (see copy above) is shown **Acceptance criteria:** [] If an editor tries to save a `mul` description then an error is shown. [] The error message is translatable (and uses the correct language name for "multiple languages" as a parameter of the message). **Community communication:** No separate communication needed. **Original:** https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help_talk:Label#Drafting_of_guidelines_for_new_language_code_mul
