(In reply to Pau Giner from bug 62362 comment #4)
Currently the ULS position is used as a conservative way to make sure the
feature only applies to wikis where we are sure interlanguage links exist.
We can also consider to base this logic on $wgInterwikiMagic
$wgHideInterlanguageLinks instead to both list and activate the feature only
on wikis with interlanguage links support.
Thanks for the explanation. Yes, disabling the feature if either $wgInterwikiMagic is false or $wgHideInterlanguageLinks is true would be much better.
FYI, this is currently true only for chapter wikis among WMF-hosted wikis.
