Indeed; I don't see how this is an issue of whether languages typically capitalize nationalities or not. If you look at the sidebar, *all* the menu entries are capitalized in all the languages I've just spot-checked, whether they're proper nouns or not. "Community portal" starts with a capital "C" on en:, and "Accueil communauté" starts with a capital "A" on fr:, and so on. I don't see why we would specifically lowercase the language names, while everything else in the menus is capitalized.
The sidebar menu entries are supposed to be *titles* of their respective pages, as opposed to the language names, which are ... well, language *names* rather than article (or page) titles.
So even in the links to other language Wiktionaries on the English Main Page it become arguable whether a series of items separated by dashes are a series of titles or of language names. At least the first option helps us avoid an item by item determination.
