Today this problem doesn't exist.  There is no point in linking to the
French, Dutch, or Spanish Wikipedias, because they only have a few
hundred articles, and that just isn't useful.

My intention was not to find the ultimate solution or make anybody
"entirely happy".  All I wanted was to test an idea that allows me to
link to the two existing useful Wikipedias in English and German.
