Here's my idea - it would require a bit of work
though:
1) If article exists on en:, auto-generate a multilingual disambiguation
page using the interwiki links in the article.
2) If the article doesn't exist on en:,
2a) auto-generate a list of links to possible articles in Wikipedias
with > x,000 articles (where x depends on how well the software works).
Make no guarantee about the existance of the target article.
2b) scan the Wikipedias with > x,000 articles, pull out all interwiki
links if one is found (stripping duplicates if it exists under the same
name in multiple lanuages) and generate a disambiguation page.
This way, we both guarantee that all existing links work (to the same
extent as when we move pages and create redirects, or turn things into
disambiguation pages), while at the same time creating a multilingual
portal.
Why use the Interwiki-links? Just check all languages for an article
with that exact name. On
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun, I want a
link to [[de:Sun Microsystems]] (which is the page [[de:Sun]]
redirects to), and not one to [[de:Sonne]] (which is the page
[[en:Sun]] has an interwiki to).
