Simple English not shown in “Languages” section of pages for interwiki linking

Description

It was brought up on Simple Talk that Simple English isn’t shown under any of the geographically sorted languages. (See: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Getting_to_simple_articles_from_English)

To test this, I went to [[Ronald Reagan]] on the English Wikipedia and tried to find a link to the Simple English Wikipedia, where it is a Very Good Article. I checked each geographically sorted section of the Languages popup, as well as searching for Simple, and was unable to find it.

I can reproduce it.

High priority, because the point of Compact Language Links is supposed to be making access to languages easier, and all missing languages bugs are high-priority.

I'll try to fix ASAP.

This should be tested carefully for the affected languages at least in:

Special:Translate
Special:LanguageStats
CX article selector
CX gray interlanguage links
ULS compact links
ULS language selector
ULS language search

@Amire80 @KartikMistry what is the next step here? This is a high priority ticket with an open patch that has not been reviewed for close to a month. Should this be deprioritized?

I believe it requires more extensive careful testing as @Nikerabbit suggested above. Maybe we can put it in backlog until we all are available for testing.
