Nikki added a comment to T381585: Add monolingual and lexeme language+script codes egy-egyp, egy-latn, and egy-latn-(x)-lut2023.

I've lowercased the script codes because Wikimedia's convention is to use lowercase for script and country codes - BCP 47/IANA/IETF language tags are case-insensitive, so it's still valid.

You can work around it in queries by manually adjusting the coordinates to use 0 to 360°. I created an example query years ago (it was actually the very first example query I added!) but it's since been deemed too advanced and moved to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries/examples/advanced#Locations_in_Fiji where people are less likely to find it.

I hate that "feature" in Wikifunctions. Overwriting people's clipboard content without warning is rude. I want to be able to select text without losing what I have in the clipboard, and that includes IDs, because I can do things like drag them into another field or middle-click paste in Linux.

Nikki added a comment to T334350: Decide whether to make LanguageNameUtils able to support BCP 47 language tags.

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). It would be much simpler for Wikidata if things could be added to Names.php instead of needing a custom configuration, see T273627 (including the comments).

Nikki reopened T371773: Add lexeme language codes kyw-beng, kyw-deva, txo-beng, cdz-beng, mjx-beng, ksy-beng as "Open".

This was not done correctly. Lexeme language codes need to be added to LocalNamesEn.php in the CLDR extension, so that MediaWiki has a language name for them (the ones in the WikibaseLexeme extension are not used anywhere except Special:NewLexeme). That will automatically make them available for lexemes.

FYI, I was the one who removed the (ostensibly) redundant en-gb label @Nikki spoke of. I find this complication to be emblematic of a more broader issue—the need to distinguish regional variants from an ultimately "neutral" variant (which in English's case, is unfairly assumed to mean en-us). It would be nice if regional variations were defined explicitly, perhaps laid out like this:

Nikki added a comment to T371401: Adapt search ranking for mul language code.

Also, the search results have been awful for a long time when the UI is set to British English (T334563). mul will probably have the same issues.

Nikki added a comment to T370293: Update 'Label in Language' property constraint to include `mul`.

Maybe the best solution would be adding a parameter to the constraint allowing the user to specify if, for that specific property, "mul" should be taken into account or not. This would be the most flexible solution IMHO.

Should we generally decrease the importance of the number of labels for ranking or do something special for mul?

Sarai wanted to sort the list alphabetically by the language name, originally.
The dev team asks is sorting by language code would be good enough? It would have the advantage that it is only one order for all UI languages.
