Description

Most Wiktionaries other than the Latin one put various entries in one page if different languages have a word spelled exactly the same way, whether the words are related or not.

Several prototype extensions are under development which show only one language entry at a time:

WiktionaryStructure (PHP) by hippietrail
addstructure.js (JavaScript) by hippietrail
format.js‎ (JavaScript) by Conrad.Irwin

When following a link such as [[façade#French]], the French entry should be shown rather than the first entry, in this case English.

[As I cannot find any "Wiktionary Tools" codebase somewhere and as this is stuff that needs to happen in MediaWiki, moving it to that Bugzilla product.]

Doesn’t what is being asked for in the task description happen today (i.e take the user to the specific entry they want)? What if the reader does want to be able to scroll up and down the page to see the other entries?
