Yes, some classification and cleanups, plus several successive attempts to avoid superpositions of RTL texts (notably Arabic) on top of the TOC positioned on the right. This is solved now.
The template also did not allow to display the link to the meta page for all languages, despite those links were equally valid. I made it coherent about all of them, independantly of their status, and this will also help admins to transfer the contents edited on the main page, to the message translation interface for each language, without having to type or tweak an URL, speeding up this process for the admins, as well as allowing translators to see (and signal) those available translations that have not been transfered.
I also added the available aliases used for language codes, and that are currently sorted within the same language section.
I also sorted a few sections that were disordered, without deleting anything.
Finally I added some notes that will help you in case translations are not ready in time (because the default English fallback will be worse than a fallback to another similar language, or another primary language used in the same area where a secondary language is used). E.g. there's still no Breton translation, but most Breton translators and contributors on the Breton edition of Wikipedia also understand French : they will understand and accept the available fallback notice in French better than the fallback notice in English that would be installed on the "dead line" where the notice must be displayed.
Of course, you may have objections to the choice of these fallbacks, so feel free to update them again. There are also still a long list of languages used for Wikipedia editions for which there's no language section (but for which there's already a support in the translation extension of MediaWiki installed on Meta or on TranslateWiki.net).
Those prefered fallbacks for minority or secondary languages should be known and made visible to admins, even if there's no translation for them.

I *think* he means that when you click "edit" it shows as protected... The translation interface (when you click "Translate this page" at the top) is available to everybody (even unregistered users).

Note also that I made those links to the translation form active, by editing the template that shows it (the links are valid, even if the form is not editable), to ease the navigation, as there's no reason of hiding these links for some languages and not others.
What page are you talking about? -Niklas
