@cooltey Just to be clear, am I correct that the remaining issue here is that the service should NOT fall back to using the description from another variant if the preferred variant is unavailable? Using your example title, I see that the description on https://zh.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/%E4%B8%89%E7%81%A3%E9%84%89_(%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3) uses the correct variant when `Accept-Language: zh-hant` is sent. But when `Accept-Language: zh-hans` is sent or no language variant is specified, the generic "Chinese" description is shown, which (IIUC) is incorrect. If what you're asking is to fix ApiQueryDescription <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/refs/heads/master/client/includes/Api/Description.php> (?action=query&prop=description) to handle language variants generally, then that's a separate task, and one probably best performed by someone with in-depth knowledge of Wikibase concepts and architecture (hint: probably someone from WMDE and not WMF Product Infrastructure). But I wouldn't agree with the prioritization in that case, because descriptions in the correct variant are already available by other means.
