To link between projects to a particular language in Wikipedia, use eg [[Wikipedia:fr:Une page]]. This puts the maintenance burden in a much smaller area (a single configuration file on one server) and should work in also interwiki links from other wikis that we don't control and can't spontaneously add interwiki prefixes too, such as MeatballWiki (where it would be WikiPedia:fr:Une_page since you need CamelCase on InterWikis there).
OK, that makes sense. I thought you were getting rid of explicit in-line links without devising a replacement. Your syntax does make a lot more sense than the (now depreciated) XxWikipedia syntax.
As I said before I really only care about results, not the details needed to attain those results (I do often provide suggested ways to attain those results but that is just to move things along by at least sparking debate).
