I wholeheartedly support. Having done a good deal of inter-language
linking on WP, many times I was forced to make a call on whether two
similar articles, yet with different scope, should be linked.

Apologies, should this already have been discussed.

defines: Wikipedialink = (Title, LanguageId, Badge?)

In my experience the scope or extent of entities in different
Wikipedias sometimes differs. One Wikipedia considers an entity a
valid lemma, whereas another Wikipedia subsumes it in a larger lemma.

Would changing the model to:
Wikipedialink = (Title, LanguageId, Relation, Badge?)
where relation can be
broader match
close match
exact match
narrower match

etc. help in expressing these situations? I believe this could prevent
problems later on.

The default (and initial import of interlanguage links) could easily
be "close match" - to be refined only where required.
