The original designs for this go back to a design pass I did on interlanguage link
thingers, which you can see here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Interlanguage/WMF_Design_Pass
Wikidata has modified it a bit (but not overmuch). My version was always intended to be
the "minimal set that could get done with the minimal amount of work" and never
a comprehensive solution.
Clearly, this is a place where a language selection widget would be useful and good;
I've got some ideas on how that would work. Is this something we should talk about
sooner or later?

FYI. This likely has implications for the work that's being done on
universal language selection.

Subject: [Wikidata-l] mockups for linking Wikipedia articles up for feedback
To: "Discussion list for the Wikidata project."

Heya folks :)
We've worked on mockups for how we think linking of articles between
different Wikipedias should work with Wikidata. You can find the
mock-ups and explanations here:

It'd be great if you could have a look and give feedback either here
or on the discussion page on meta.
Cheers
Lydia
