Arwel: It's a good idea. Do you already have it enabled in Welsh though (ie bilingual), or are they all in English currently?
I think that would massively cut down on the amount of redirect vandalism.
Similarly, if the interface of aa.wikipedia were actually in Afar, people would stop using it for their stupid tests.
Speaking of which, a lot of people who make new pages on inactive Wikipedias seem to have typed the URL wrong. For example, if somebody meant to go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzlapaapa, they might accidentally go to http://dz.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzlapaapa and then not realise they're actually at the Druk Yul (dragon language) Wikipedia.

Just in time! We had a massive page-move vandal attack on cy:wikipedia between 0203 and 0232 UTC this morning, when users cy:Defnyddiwr:SPUI and cy:Defnyddiwr:OldakQuill managed to screw up a considerable number of pages - moving them, then deleting and recreating original page names with redirects to en:Image:Autofellatio_2.jpg
By the way, I've put up what appears to be the first ever mirror site for cy: Wikipedia: http://factsite.co.uk/cy/ . I plan to mirror all the British native languages. Currently having fun wrestling with the en: SQL dump ...

Nice! :) By the way, it's Wicipedia Cymraeg, not Cymraeg Wicipedia - the subject comes before any qualifiers.
After spending five hours straightening out cy.wikipedia today, Deb and I were wondering if it would be worthwhile / possible to remove the #redirect command in English, so that potential non-Welsh-speaking vandals would at least have to learn what the Welsh for "redirect" actually is before they try to screw up the database.
