User(s) at nowiki is still asking for some way to limit linkage to content translation. The previous complaint is at Wikipedia:Bazar: menu for content translation (its in Norwegian), and a newer question in the thread Wikipedia:Bazar: content translation bokmål ↔ nynorsk.
It is more complaints than proposals of better solutions, so it is not clear how to solve this. Still it seems like the people complaining are using older skins, and those are still using red links. (That is Modern and Monobook.) A change to gray links are proposed and being discussed.
