The Global watchlist can handle maximum one Wikibase site, because it takes its name from the wgGlobalWatchlistWikibaseSite system variable. If there are more, they are ignored by Wikibase Handler module, and the list does not show the labels. While we have now after T415337: Recognize Wikibase when no wgGlobalWatchlistWikibaseSite system variable is set the Wikibase installation recognition by Action API siteinfo results, we can ignore the system variable and show as many wikibase sites as we want. For example, Wikidata and test.wikidata.org on Wikimedia Mediawiki wikifarm.
