Sounds great. One of the major pain points on many Wiki pages is the
whole topic around Language / LanguageSwitch templates.

Verdy_p has written a lengthy analysis of the current situation, which
I'm mostly unable to follow as I'm not really familiar with Mediawiki
internals:

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than myself could take a look, if it is
worthwhile throwing in some Lua for better performance in this case, or
maybe trying something different.

Thanks!
