This is definitely a problematic solution to the problem, because the current
implementation just adds in a list of 10 languages or so, and goes from that.
But this is MediaWiki! I18n is important!
I've added a patch that takes all possible language codes and names, checks if
there is an existing template for each language code, and only includes the
ones with proper templates. This should allow much better support for multiple
languages, and definitely for Nordfriisk, because Commons has a template for
it.
However, there is a problem: Commons has many, many templates. It's likely that
we'll need to come up with a better solution than "drop-down list, go!" for the
language selector. I wouldn't expect this patch to get deployed to Commons
anytime soon.
The patch is at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/9528, but again, it's a
temporary solution and should probably not be used on a wiki with a lot of
language support, due to usability problems.
