  I would prefer to see that outcome in all honesty. Indian English has 
millions of speakers worldwide and is much more popular than British or 
Canadian English. I never really understood why users shouldn't be allowed to 
use it for their interface language setting.

  While referring to a movie theatre 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_theater>, in Indian English it normally 
would be called a //cinema hall//.
  In elections, Americans will mention voting blocs 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_bloc> while Indians talk about vote banks 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Votebank>.
  
  Then you have British-like spellings for things like "metre", "organisation", 
or "colour".
  
  With its unique terms and seperate spelling conventions, I would certainly 
say this is more than justified.

[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] T97566: Provide another way to surface usage instructions besides tacking them onto descriptions

  Couldn't we just use qdw (**q**uery **d**ata **w**iki) like how 
Translatewiki.net uses qqq 
<https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ#Special_private_language_codes_qqq,_qqx>? 
It seems like the pretty obvious solution to this to me.. It'll also provide an 
end-run around T140131 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140131>.
  
  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
