Well, we have not used all the color of the
rainbow
yet. Say, when a page doesnot exist in english,
but
exist in polish, the link in the english page to
the
non existing page is purple instead of red, and
when
you click on it, you get an nearly empty page
with
"no
article available yet" and "this page
is available
in
[[polish]]" (in the page).
+ link to the polish page.
Something like that sounds doable (I don't know
about the specific
colors, but in general). This could perhaps be
related to the proposed
stub link indication -- see
Colors or just the way it is implemented, is still
something minor I think.
The point is if we see a non-balkanized wikipedia, it
is logical that a subject covered in at least one
langage, is not considered not covered at all in
another. Let's think global.
(avoiding the stub issue) articles right now only have
a dual definition : they exist or they do not. We
should go forward a tri-definition, they exist in
"this" langage (and maybe others), they exist not in
"this" langage but in "others" they do, they do not
exist at all.
In short, it is thinking more of coverage of a subject
than coverage in one langage.
