Yes, this.
The list of available languages is a key part of a page, not a
navigation nicety.
They used to be available at the top of an article by default, until
that started taking up a few inches of screen space across the board.
We could still use a small bit of text reading "also in N other
languages" that is similarly prominent: above-the-fold, near the top
of the page.

I'm lost in this sea of emails.
Is anybody arguing that showing interwikis expanded by default is hurtful?
I understand that one dev said roughly: "revert, this was designed so
and any change must be authorized by howie"
and that (Sue?) said : "we had a meeting and decided that hiding the
interwikis wasn't really bad".
And sprinkled over there I read a couple "we hid them since they were
cluttering".
Now what is the argument about *that specific "clutter"* is bad?
Who else besides UX opinion and staff supporting UX has an argument
about showing interwikis being hurtful so much that the problems
overshadow the benefits of showing them?
