Dereckson,

the workflow you use is a bit more complicated in the case an article of that
name already exists. You are linking to it, click on it, and you will see it at
that moment that you probably need to disambiguate. Now, since you are already
on fr.wp, you will check which alternative or disambiguated name is free. You
go back to en.wp, edit in order to change the article name appropriately, and
then paste the English intro and translate it or let someone translate it.

Indeed, such a workflow would not work anymore. Instead it would work like
this:
1. You are on en.wp and copy the intro text.
2. You go to fr.wp and create the article.
3. You paste the text and translate or let it be translated.
4. Still on fr.wp you edit the language links and add the link to the
respective en article. The rest of the links will be pulled in from Wikidata.

The major loss of convenience is in Step 2: you do not get a link that you can
click on in order to get to the edit box for the article automatically. One way
to circumvent this is to still add the link to the langlinks on en (since local
one still work), but click on preview instead, follow the link, and continue
with step 3.

I hope that this is sufficiently fine as a workflow.

Cheers,
Denny
