TASK DESCRIPTION
  Currently, the entity usage tracking service knows two cases for label usage:
  * the label in the wiki's content language (aspect "L")
  * a label in some other language (aspect "X", which covers all other aspects)
  
  On a multilingual site like Wikimedia Commons, pages often use labels in 
multiple languages. Any such languages would be tracked as using the "X" aspect 
of the item, triggering a purge whenever //any// part of the entity is edited. 
This is particularly bad for entities that are used on hundreds of thousands of 
pages, e.g. countries.
  
  Possible solutions:
  # Introduce an additional tracking aspect for labels in any language. Note 
that the database schema currently only supports a single character for the 
aspect.
  # Change the interpretation of L to mean "label in any language". This would 
mean more pointless purges on monolingual wikis, but it would address the issue 
of language fallback, which was ignored in the "single language" tracking 
scheme.
