> explaining the availability of the names If you find anyone who truly understands that, do let me know. :) > and an the relation to the CLDR extension. Wikibase gets localised language names from the CLDR extension. Names provided by CLDR are in the CldrNames directory. We can add things which are missing (or override existing ones) in the LocalNames directory. The CLDR extension falls back to wmgExtraLanguageNames and Names.php, so a name might still be shown for languages not in the CLDR extension if the language is defined in one of those places instead. > Enabling Wikibase label support by explaining why we need to change both Wikibase.git and config files, what each does, and in what order. Both need to be changed because T273627 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273627> is not yet resolved. Most parts of Wikidata fetch languages from one, some parts (see the ticket) still rely on the other. I'm not sure if the order matters, but it doesn't work properly without changing the config so that might be the best one to do first. Note that for lexemes, while the names on Special:NewLexeme come from the WikibaseLexeme i18n directory, the names given by wbcontentlanguages in the API <https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=wbcontentlanguages&wbclcontext=term-lexicographical&wbclprop=code%7Cautonym%7Cname&format=json> come from the CLDR extension (which I reported at T322139 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T322139>).
