Hello all,
we’ll be deploying a minor change to the Wikidata interface soon. If your
interface is set up in a language other than English, when you view an
entity page, you can see entity labels in other languages than the one you
selected, according to language fallbacks (e. g. Austrian German users
might see German labels if there is no Austrian German label, or even
English labels if there is no German label either for an entity). The
language of the label being displayed is shown in a small indicator,
e. g. Douglas
Adams <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42> *English*. From August 29th
forward, that indicator will be hidden by default if the user language and
the language of the label are variants of the same language, e. g. if the
user interface is in Austrian German and the label is in German.
If you don’t like this change, you can override it by adding a small piece
of code <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P5929> to your your common.css
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyPage/common.css>. If you encounter
any problem with this change, feel free to leave a comment under this
Phabricator ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174318>.
Best regards,
Lucas Werkmeister
