Csilla Molnár and inter-language links

Why did you decide to remove my uses of the {{interlanguage link}} template, which provides a link to the other Wikipedia while still showing that we don't have an article in English wiki (and possibly nudging interested editors into creating it)? PamD 22:25, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Isn't it more useful to give readers a blue-link to their Wikipedia Hungarian articles, which they can translate with one right-click? I think the red-link implies to most readers that such an article doesn't exist and therefore not to click on it? I didn't realise it myself despite the fact I had been editing the article (and contributing on it at AfD). Not sure therefore it is such a useful tool (by definition, hitting a blue-linked hu-WP article implies there is no en-WP article)? However, revert if you feel strongly about it.

The small blue "hu" link goes to the Hungarian article, and disappears when the English article is created. With your method, we could still have a link to the Hungarian article after someone had created an English article, as they wouldn't know about your link. I can't immediately find a policy or guideline suggesting either your or my technique as preferred. PamD 23:02, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Pity the colour wasn't also blue (or at least not red). In fairness, your work on rescuing the article is what will (hopefully) keep it (and got me interested in also helping it at AfD); you also have a lot more experience than I. You decide for both of us. all the best. Britishfinance (talk) 23:24, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary, I hope?

I'm a big proponent of stepping away from the project when you need some time to focus on other things or cool off or just because, but it'd be great to see you back here when you are ready! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 09:14, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
