Bollocks. I've just realised that this will only work on English pages, because there's no way to detect and remove the :<lang> suffix on an article name. A French page trying to link to a Norwegian page would get Some_Page:fr:no, which of course is wrong. I really don't want to allow people to type in arbitrary article names either, since that allows the usual naming convention to be broken. :-(
How do you do it?

Could someone explain to me how to create a page in another language?
3-border style
noborder

JeffLane added the feature "noborder" ("|noborder=true" removing borders). Please somebody write description for this. I can't because my English is so bad.
Making noborder default, not optional

I'm voting for the removal of the border all together. In my opinion, I think it looks a little cleaner without a border.
Obsolete?

Check Template:Lang. It's the same as this but now, languages are detected automatically. I think with that, this template is now obsolete and should be passively replaced with Lang. This is one of our most important templates so I'm asking for input on the new one's use.

This might still be usefull when a translated page doesn't follow standard naming conventions (i.e. is not named pagename:lang).
Pinsplash 11:39, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Very true. Honestly I think the language suffixes should have been done with
/ and not :. There's nothing native to MediaWiki that recognizes : aside from namespaces. If they were done with / #titleparts could have been used. Far too late to change that standard though.
Deprecated

Whoever fucked with this last, you've put an error message on the Main Page.

I do not care. This template is deprecated - I have notified about it.
We should have access to edit these pages, but we don't. There are many more languages on the main page than are presented, and this is the problem of this template.
Be prepared for the fact that the main page can become a battlefield.

The main page now shows a dropdown list for a split second after loading.

This is how mw-collapsible works, it can't be fixed. On my talk page, I made a custom content block (TOC), and it also expands for a split second when the page loads because I use mw-collapsible.
