Wikidata gets language codes to display inside collapsed view from ULS method `getFrequentLanguageList()`, which utilizes country code languages, among other things. There is a separate task (T222790 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222790>) related to this one, where it was requested from #language-team <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/language-team/> to clarify expected behavior around languages with redirects. Returning the target of language redirect codes was introduced as fix for this ticket, in 76551ed4a7fccbaf87cd850674406ae316f4f956 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rEULS76551ed4a7fccbaf87cd850674406ae316f4f956>. In the past, editors from Serbia would not see Serbian as option at all, or see variant codes for Cyrillic and Latin - T121747 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121747>. This was mitigated if you had `sr` language code in list of your previous languages selected in ULS. Now, after the patch, `sr` redirects to `sr-cyrl` <https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.uls/blob/6f6d72d5751d897ffc7ef17d5b3513f76b604b3d/src/jquery.uls.data.js#L3368> and we end up with having options to enter entity details (label, description, aliases) in both Cyrillic and Latin. That means, we no longer have ability to work around the limitation for Serbian. F30105220: darien-wikidata.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F30105220> When you try inserting any data for that two language codes, you get an error message: !!Could not save due to an error. Unrecognized value for parameter "language": sr-cyrl!!. In the past, there was an option to expand list of languages and show all of them. Now, we see selected 4 languages and have option to see all other **which have label entered**. That means new entries cannot be added in Serbian. Do you have statistics about number of edits per language on Wikidata? Did contributions in Serbian drop significantly in the past month? Are there other ways of entering Wikidata labels that I don't know of?
