But think, what happens if user look for Russian "язык" or "месяц" etc. with new system? He will be forced to page that got Belorussian definitions. What if person looks for Spanish "justa"? User will get irrelevant Esperanto definition. Italian "cinta"? Ones again, not related page about Indonesian noun.
Hmm? No, that would be silly. The only language that should get that priority in any kind of disambiguation scheme is the language of the wiki. If the language of the wiki doesn't have that word, but other languages do, then one would get a disambiguation page, not whatever language happens to be first in alphabetical order. This is how the Latin Wiktionary has done it for years now. e.g.
http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/greet (Not a Latin word, thus disambiguation)
http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/formica (A Latin word; other languages linked from the bottom)
While with interface as it is, I don't even have to click/scroll - information is shown directly on my screen after search of above-words . There dozens(if not hundreds) of thousands articles like that. And as Wiktionary grow, there would be even more.
Again, if you get all the information at once, it is because there is not much information there: you're looking at stubs. As Wiktionary grows, there will be *fewer* like that.
And contrary to what you say, I do believe, that the chances of article to be edited/corrected related to how many time it was shown/visited/looked into.
Fair enough; but either the user is a casual browser, or someone looking for a specific piece of information. In the former case, they are exactly as likely to run across [[язык (ru)]] as [[язык (bg)]], and in the latter case, they are by definition not interested in anything else we feel like showing them.
Again, there are better ways of getting people to look at information than relying on other headwords happening to be spelled the same way as what the user is actually looking for. Heck, just showing five articles from the main namespace at *random* in addition to the main entry would be more useful for that purpose than just showing homographs, if exposure is the goal you're aiming at.
*Muke!
