I'd expect that the placement of dmoz: commons: wikipedia: as sidebar links
instead of normal interwiki links is done by non-standard code running on the
server - likely a PHP extension. This is not CSS and not something controlled
by individual user/sysop/bureaucrats on the project itself.

Normal behaviour for MediaWiki (for sites not in Wikivoyage or forked from the
same data) is to put just the languages in the sidebar. WV doesn't work that
way. There have been long-forgotten proposals over the years for a "sister
project" functionality in WMF that would put links from Wikipedia to Wikinews
and the like in the sidebar (and likely a few fragments of related code on the
old SVN repositories) but the idea never quite reached fruition.

As such, using [[w: as the same-language's Wikipedia and [[wikipedia: as
[[:en:w: encounters the unexpected result that WV treats w: (an inline link)
and wikipedia: (a sidebar link) rather differently - and not just by always
pointing the latter to en.WP instead of local-language.WP
