I would love to see this design or something similar become the default

Can't be the default because it's English only, isn't it. A workaround
could be to remove custom linguistic content (for instance make "About
Wikimedia Foundation" just "Wikimedia" and point it to some translatable
page on Meta), but I've no idea how localisation of all this works.
Well, this *recommended* template could substitute the current default
which doesn't offer localized links either. An improvement is an
improvement, and I think the improvement for users is huge.
Then it is up to the admins of each list to implement this template or
not, to take it as is or with modifications e.g. links to Spanish
content for your Spanish speaking list. It's just a piece of HTML to be
pasted in a web form.
Just give me a day or so to implement feedback and clean the code, and
then the template will be ready to be applied by list admins with a
simple copy&paste, with optional customization.
