Instead, I get an absurd selection (most languages missing, but always Bavarian). What can I do to get _all_ labels and descriptions that exist and _none_ that don't exist? By default, please. Mautpreller (talk) 21:36, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

- To make it clear: for Q7731633, I get German, English, French, and Bavarian. This is nonsense pure and simple because Bavarian has not even a label or description. I have to select "all entered languages" to get a full list but Bavarian is still included. What I want is: On the page Q7731633 show me all labels and descriptions existing in all languages. I don't want to be forced to select "all entered languages" and I don't want "Bavarian" here because there is no information about this lemma in Bavarian. This is a very simple use case: I simply want to know what exists here. Mautpreller (talk) 11:24, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- Doesn't work. I activated the LabelLister Gadget but Wikidata still shows an absurd selection only (including Bavarian, although there is neither a label nor a description in ths dilect). What do I have to do to simply get _all_ labels and descriptions in _all_ languages? Why isn't it possible to simply get all information available without pre-selection by an idiotic algorithm?

- There is already a discussion about this (initiated by another user) in de.wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Sprachvorgaben_bei_Wikidata . Mautpreller (talk) 10:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
- You are asking for a feature (show all available languages) that is not related in Universal Language Selector. You should reach out to the Wikidata developers instead. Nikerabbit (talk) 09:09, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Amazing that such a simple feature isn't thought of. Where do I find the WikiData developers? Mautpreller (talk) 13:26, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- I think best place is to discuss this in wikidata.org, or a feature request in Phabricator. Nikerabbit (talk) 06:24, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
