I always wondered, why to have a multilanguage wiki one has to setup a wiki farm with interlinks? Why wiki cannot be multilingual by default? By the way, MediaWiki has the preliminary support of that back in 1.10 when I've started to use it for local projects. It's a global variable $wgLanguageCode and the corresponding request parameter uselang=langcode. Why not to use the correct source language code when "transferring" a user from small local wiki to commons, so the links
to
commons will have an appropriate uselang=code parameter. Dmitriy
Hmm.. it seems that commons already uses uselang parameter. It just should use it persistantly and the parameter should be passed via the links from small wikis. Dmitriy
