TASK DESCRIPTION **Problem:** While investigating T170424 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170424> I deep dove (description at T170424#5802420 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170424#5802420>) and found that most of our UI calls to the API are probably using the backward compatibility layer. In order to solve T170424 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170424> and get more relevant and translated errors to our users we should specify an error format and error lang / uselang in out api calls. **Example:** New format : https://test.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbparsevalue&format=json&parser=globecoordinate&values=%1F36&options=%7B%22lang%22%3A%22de%22%7D&uselang=de&errorformat=plaintext Old Format: https://test.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbparsevalue&format=json&parser=globecoordinate&values=%1F36&options=%7B%22lang%22%3A%22de%22%7D&uselang=de Look at the first error to appear in the JSON output **Acceptance criteria:** - All Wikidata / WMDE owned UI code calling APIs where errors are shown to users should use the new pattern **Open questions:** - uselang or errorlang or both?
