Bad idea for minority languages

I don't like this idea at all, I am trying to create a web presence for the Welsh Language by trying to create pages with more information about Welsh issues than is available in generic English language articles.

The idea that Welsh or Cornish articles "default" to English or that Basque and Catalan articles "default" to Spanish makes a mockery of lesser used languages presence on Wikipedia! AlwynapHuw (sgwrs) 05:57, 14 Rhagfyr 2013 (UTC)

O gymryd cip bras ar y cynnig, dw i'n dueddol o gytuno efo Alwyn. Er mai dolen ddiniwed ydy hi ar un agwedd mae'r syniad o chwaneg o ddolennau i iethoedd eraill i mi'n gyfystyr a dangos y drws i'n darllenwyr! Cafwyd trafodaeth debyg yn ddiweddar ynglyn a chreu dolennau i en. Dim diolch. Llywelyn2000 (sgwrs) 00:45, 15 Rhagfyr 2013 (UTC)

Y cynnig a'r sgript

Screenshot of the Earth test search, with this script adding links to Wikidata, Reasonator, Commons, and Wikipedia.

Hello, I propose to enable the tool created by Magnus Manske (creator of MediaWiki) to provide results from other languages and Commons (via Wikidata) when a page doesn't exist here: links are added to Special:Search and noarticletext. This helps to encourage translation and to make readers use your wiki more, because they can be sure to find something even if it's not local (rather than searching directly on the biggest wiki). The Italian and Polish Wikipedias, among others already enabled it by default.
Examples: [1] [2] [3]. More information: Magnus blog.
How to: just add the following line at the end of Common.js.

// Results from Wikidata
// 
if ( mw.config.get( 'wgCanonicalSpecialPageName' ) === 'Search' ||  ( mw.config.get( 'wgArticleId' ) === 0 && mw.config.get( 'wgCanonicalSpecialPageName' ) === false ) ) {
	importScriptURI("//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wdsearch.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
}
