Moving to Special:MyLanguage in wiki page links

Some time ago I wrote about possibly using Special:MyLanguage in wiki page links instead of {{#translation:}}

I have now converted all the links in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base to use the special prefix.

The way it works, explained in the context of the German page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base/de

If you visit the page with the default English wiki language (the language selector is in the topmost menu with Log in/out), clicking the page links will lead to the English version. After reaching the English page, you can click Deutsch from the language menu to see the German version if you want.

If you change your wiki language before clicking any of the page links in the FAQ index, the links will either lead to the page in your preferred language or to the English version in case a translated page does not yet exist.

I wanted to announce my intention to move to this convention everywhere. Before starting on the conversion and documentation changes, I will wait for a couple of weeks to give everyone some time to reflect on the topic.
