Can you explain that in more detail? What do you mean, "rendered inline"?
A language link is added at the top of the page in a list of "related articles". An inline link is placed in the article, exactly where an author has put it.
From where I'm standing, if all the databases were folded into one wiki database, there would be no problem.
Several other language teams have split over the time, some have merged with the main project again. If joining db's some will feal that they won't be free to choose anymore.
And I still haven't heard any suggestions for a different syntax for specifying an external wiki; it doesn't seem right to overload the namespace syntax to handle that function.
Think of useability. Having similar things done in a similar way is very convenient for users. Perhaps it's not that convenient for a programmer, but from a users point of view, what is he doing? Putting a link. To put a link, start with [[, so what do I want to link to, yes, meta, so put [[m: . That's simply easy.
While we're at it, couldn't we change external link syntax from [http://www.bla.com/] to [[http://www.bla.com/%5D%5D? Helga is always doing it wrong, and from a useability point of view she is the benchmark.
