Re: [Wikipedia-l] hiding interlanguage links by default is a Bad Idea
Agreed. I was very troubled to find this. Imagine, for example, some IT professional whose first language is Hindi but is reading an article in English. He may not know that we have a Hindi Wikipedia. What if he'd be interested in contributing? What a shame that he didn't see that interwiki...

Re: [Wikipedia-l] hiding interlanguage links by default is a Bad Idea
I must agree also. Same goes for anyone who's first language is not English, such as Spanish or German speakers. It could potentially be beneficial for the smaller Wikipedias.
