Nikki added a subscriber: Nikki. Nikki added a comment. I often want to do this, because Wikipedia articles will normally include the name in the original/native/local language(s) and I'd like to add those as labels too.
Related to what @Izno said, if you move a sitelink to another item, the item won't automatically have a label in the language. You can remove the label from the old item, but you can't add it to the new item. I do find it rather strange that I can do pretty much anything independently of the UI language except for adding new terms. I'm not restricted in which sitelinks I can add, I'm not restricted in which monolingual text statements I can add and now I'm not even restricted in which labels I can see, edit or remove, but adding new labels? There's no obvious way to do that, the best option I have is a not very user friendly gadget that isn't enabled by default. I'm not sure how we can accurately analyse how often it happens. We could figure out how many new labels were added using the labelLister gadget from the history, but that wouldn't tell us how many labels people wanted to add but didn't.
