[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T200149: Adding labels and description in South African language requires a babel template on your user page

TASK DESCRIPTION

While at Wikimania I tried to add labels to wikidata items in one of the South African languages. [1]. At first, it was not possible to add new terms to Wikidata in SA language. A quick fix is to add the languages to babel [2]. This seems like an unnecessary step [3]. Can we remove this requirement?
