Which is why I say we should have tests that make sure it stays that way.

To Wikidata, "language links" and "sister links" are the same. So, if Wikipedia
just said "give me all your links for this page", and then puts the result into
the sidebar, it will include links to all sister projects in all languages.

This should of course not be the case: the sidebar should (per default / for
now) only contain links to other Wikipedias. And we should make double sure this
is the case.
