revert of interlanguage link edit

@P Aculeius: In the edit of 12:10, 5 October 2023, you wrote

... if people want to read that article in other languages, they can go to the article and see what languages are available for it

The article in question is redlinked since it does not exist on English wikipedia, so how do you expect them to know that the article even exists? Please clarify. Fabrickator (talk) 07:39, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I didn't realize that the title was redlinked at first—but reviewing Wikipedia's guidance on linking, and the documentation for the interlanguage link template, I can't see any reason why your edit wouldn't be acceptable, and I also see that it'll automatically be edited to normal interlanguage format if and when the redlink is replaced by a link to an article on English Wikipedia. So I've self-reverted to your edit here and at the other page you added this template to yesterday (there could be others, but only two were on my watchlist, both linking to the same title). Sorry for the inconvenience. P Aculeius (talk) 13:11, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
