Hoi,
Please understand that for every label for a current item in Wikidata there
should be one lexeme. It would be really helpful when all the new lexemes
added are associated with labels. You will then be able to show an item
with the conjugation as is preferred for a language.Currently this is not
our practise.
When we associate labels with lexemes, we have in fact the missing
functionality like indicating that a specific lexeme was preferred up to a
point. It allows for people to understand where "Batavia" was and why you
will not find "Jakarta" in certain papers.
Thanks,
GerardM
