After the issue had been around for some days, and with a lots of "red 
links" against very few (two, I think I saw before I made the change), 
and the change being less work than this email, I just leaped into action ;)

Sorry to hear that. You can still have the question marks for yourself, 
of course, as can anyone who signs up.

First, the changes only affect the wikipedias running Phase III 
software. Yes, Dutch will be one of them, probably soon. But
1. this could be set for every language differently
2. this shouldn't be set for every language differently. IMHO the 
different language version should look alike. But, that's just my 
personal, subjective opinion. And we have *lots* of time to decide on 
that one. Will two days be OK? ;-)
