If you are looking at a list of items at one of MediaWiki's special pages (for example http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=100 ) all that you see is a list of meaningless numbers. I believe it shouldn't be too difficult to display labels in such cases (perhaps with item IDs in brackets or similar).
Note that ideally this should work like Bug 37461: if there is no label in the chosen language/variant, it should try to find the label in a parent language and convert it if appropriate.
By importance: * Search * Recent changes (see #37634) * Watchlist
This one needs really rigorous testing as it can have effects on many many places in the UI, and especially also for extensions that are used by the WMF wikis.
Rethink if it is just label, or label + description?
Verified in Wikidata demo time for sprint 8
http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Special:FewestRevisions for example still doesn't show labels - is it that the code isn't updated or that this isn't fully done? Note that the special pages should also accept labels as input - for example Special:PrefixIndex should display pages whose labels have the prefix - though this is perhaps for another bug.
