To suggest that a 10 year-old feature request, not disapproved, does not have some sort of consensus, is a bit disingenuous. And that clearly validates what I said. Because if there was an enormous desre and urge, there would have been big push from communities to implement it. (And no, it does not depend on Wikidata, like interlanguage links were not.) >> It should have been introduced as opt-in feature, not enforced (Another media-viewer and superprotect? - Paradoxically it was German community which was most sensitive to those and now it is them who do what they disliked.) nor opt-out. > > Sister project links were added as a beta feature cross-wiki; all beta features are opt-in; the implication of which is that it was indeed opt-in to start. I don't remember any post asking single communities for their consent. AKA if it is opt-in, how come it is enabled on wikis which diod not have any discussion about it thus couldn't give a green light to it?
