...because a contingent of people think there should be an easier way than a search engine to switch which language you're viewing a page in, even when it hasn't been marked as being the same. This prefers (but doesn't necessarily mandate) a 1:1 mapping. I think a search engine is appropriate.

Interlanguage links on Wikipedia have existed since 2002. They are not a new feature. Literally the only thing which has changed about them with this skin rollout is that they are now shown in a dropdown at the top of the page, rather than on the sidebar or at the bottom of the page.

    That expectation has always existed, and interlangage links have been maintained centrally in Wikidata since 2012.
