This is not a standard feature of the interproject templates (which usually just add all the links available in this case), so I don't think it's a blocker for T103102.

I think that the way the issue is described here is incorrect. See the correct and more detailed description in T154181
Now I can see that the description IS correct, but the issues are quite different. This is why I doubt that merging these was a good idea.
On the other hand, as can be seen from the Ukrainian main page on Wikimedia Commons (there are only 4 links to sister projects, while the English version has 11), solving one issue would eventually solve the other, so the merger might be OK.

I've re-opened the merged task, and attempted to explain in detail what the distinction is, and what I believe the underlying problem is (from a non-dev standpoint). Hope that helps! T154181#5243963

The EN WP article is nearly always the one that is most up-to-date, most comprehensive, and highest quality (and there are various sources and studies also finding this; this is only especially the case for smaller Wikipedias). I think the EN WP article should always be linked in a well visible way in addition to the one for the user's configured language if such is configured or inferrable. Having the EN link there is better than only the one in the user's language.
