language to bearers

The issue not quite related to the project but as related to languages... Recently I found a relation like

⟨ Standard Malay (Q123474569)    ⟩ spoken by (P10894) ⟨ Malaysian Malays (Q3543292)    ⟩

and I don't think the P10894 is relevant here. The other variants are indigenous to (P2341), practiced by (P3095), used by (P1535), but all are suboptimal. Let's discuss the best property? Infovarius (talk) 20:00, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

That's one of the things indigenous to (P2341) was created for. Why do you think it's suboptimal? - Nikki (talk) 05:45, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Because it seem to be for region. And even if for both, wouldn't it be a mess? --Infovarius (talk) 10:56, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Translation

@Mahir256: why have you ruined translation subpages? Infovarius (talk) 19:57, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

@Infovarius: The main documentation page, having lingered and festered for so long, has not served newcomers to Wikidata's lexicographical data very well, such that an overhaul was wholly overdue (and is not finished yet, as the remaining few redlinks indicate). I will admit that the removal of translation tags did make restructuring the page a lot easier, but if you would like to make this and other documentation pages translatable again, ask on the Wikidata:Translators' noticeboard.

Thank you for making a start on this. The severe outdatedness of most of the Wikidata:Lexicographical data pages has been bothering me for a while and it will be good to have something actually worth translating. - Nikki (talk) 05:40, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
