Wikibase client adds an "Add links" or "Edit links" as a list item that
pretends to be an interlanguage link itself, even though it isn't.

Could you elaborate what you mean by "it pretends", as it's a different HTML class, and visually it's differently text-align'ed and has a small symbol in front of it?

It's different visually, but it's an <li> element in the same <ul> list. It does have a different class, but it's still semantically incorrect, because it's not really a member of the list.

The actual links don't have a common class either, but different classes by language. It's not really great, but it probably shouldn't be changed lightly, because it was used like this for very long. I kinda addressed this in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94899/ , but it doesn't really solve the problem, because the interlanguage class will probably be added to the extra Wikidata item, too. (I couldn't actually test it, because I couldn't yet get my Wikidata installation to display links. Configuring Wikibase is surprisingly tricky.)

Note this causes mobile to render a languages section on pages which have no alternate language versions.

I see this has been backlogged. Please note that mobile have had to hack around this bug in the meantime but the solution to do that is very very nasty and should be removed asap. From our perspective this is a quite important bug for us to get fixed as a slight change in Wikibase's code could lead to confusing behaviour with regards to languages for users.

I understand. That's why it is in the backlog now. (As opposed to pre-backlog.)

Ah ok great! It's just in mobile 'backlog' tends to mean the place where cards go to and don't get worked on forever/a long time :)

This is now effecting mobile users on all wikipedias who are told that a page is available in 1 other language which is not a language.

See bug 57094 for details.

probably we need something like SkinTemplateToolboxEnd for languages, but for putting stuff after the <ul>

any suggestions on how best to do that would be welcome
