Hoi,
That would be only a partial solution. It would be good for people who are
just reading. For people who have a #Babel template it is a disservice to
provide them with a language they do not know. Any way, it is important to
always show a label in any language. When someone is really keen, he or she
can use google translate to understand better and possibly even add a
label.
Making the addition of labels easy is key in making this a success.
Thanks,
GerardM

Will and how the fallback languages will be
configured? I guess that a
per project configuration will be needed.

Hey folks :)
With the rollout of the ArticlePlaceholder one issue became very
apparent: language fallbacks for them are needed - especially on the small
languages - because otherwise you'll see a lot of Qs and Ps... We should
have made this possible a long time ago but now with the ArticlePlaceholder
it became more urgent. So starting in the next days you will see more
fallbacks happening in Lua and the property parser function on Wikipedia
and the other Wikimedia projects using Wikidata data. It will use the usual
MediaWiki fallback. It might need a purge for some pages initially to
actually show up.
If you see any problems popping up with this please let me know about it.
Cheers
Lydia
