I was quite sure the "no" option was removed from preference after a discussion about this language code.
Seems not; probably that requires deleting the no language file and make it into a dummy language? Dunno.

You can't use "no" as a language in ULS, but you can use setlang and uselang with "no" if I remember correct. All messages are aliased to "nb" if the language is "nb". Also at nowiki will the messages for "nb" be used, and this is an accepted solution. Previously no.wikidata.org redirected with a setlang=no and that created a lot of confusion as we then had to different language codes depending on how the page was opened. There are also bots that use the site id to generate a language code and that will create a "no" language code.
This answers the question indirectly: as far as I know, language-dependent content can, currently, be entered only in your interface language. However, both no and nb are available in preferences and you may also encounter https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37459

What I wonder is: if users choose to enter a "no" label on Wikidata, what is the language setting that they see? Does this say "Norwegian (any variant)" or what? That's what puzzles me. I know that a Wikipedia can allow multiple languages (or dialects) to coexist, but in the Wikidata language selector I thought you can only select "real" languages, not "language groups".
