Change Details

Right now, the wikibase:language function has the following pattern: ``` SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],mul,en" . } ``` This would use the browser language, and if not set or given, try 'mul', and then 'en'. Someimes, e.g. in Scholia, we have items with only a label in a smaller language, related to the page in a smaller Wikipedia. One solution is to list all supported Wikipedia (or Wikidata) languages, but maybe that can be wrapped into something like `[ANY_LANGUAGE]`, so that SPARQL queries can do instead: ``` SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],mul,en,[ANY_LANGUAGE]" . } ``` The expected behavior can be discussed when there are multiple languages that it can select from, but I'd be happy with the `sample()` solutions here, to just give some hit.
