There are 3 columns in the sitelink section: "Language", "Code" and "Linked page". Usually "language-code" and "wiki-code" have a permanent 1:1 correspondence , but not in all projects (incubator, meta, wikidata).
Would it be possible to add a configuration option so that for wikis that host several languages the "language code" is also requested?
In this case it would be better to change the column order to "wiki code", "language" and "linked page", that way the users would enter first the wiki-code and then if that wiki has the multiple language configuration enabled, it would request the language code as well.
For wikis that have pages translated into multiple languages (meta, wikidata) the code "mul" can be used.
Thanks Micru

Can you name a specific case where you'd want this? Even for wikis with several languages in one we can only link one page and have no way to distinguish between them. Or am I missing something?

Would it be possible to lift the limitation of 1-sitelink => 1-wikipage for wikis that host several languages? In a way that: 1-sitelink + 1-language = 1-wikipage
Or are there other technical limitations?
Thanks Micru
