Oh.

Wikia leave much to be desired when they (attempt) to inform users what options are available and how to use them. You're an admin now, and you thought about using the Wikia forum. I'm not, and I didn't. I used my search engine, and I found a solution that uses a template to insert a flag at the top-right corner of a page. The flag is a link on the same site to another page with the same content in the language represented by the flag. The template works well enough, but it's not Wikia's solution--which, in almost all cases, is the preferred solution. Therefore, I now agree with you that we should do it with the de: and en: links at the bottoms of pages.

I'm curious, though. I didn't see TrainStation Wiki listed on the interwiki linking requesting page. And yet they work. I find that a bit bizarre. Oh, and we never actually used the template or even installed it, officially. The test version is PellaLang.

"I would prefer if I could directly link a page after created it, because otherwise I am afraid that I forget later."

The easiest way is to create a default new page. Add a fake link at the bottom of teh default, like. If you remember to install the proper link when you create the page, great! If you don't, you know you'll always have a friendly reminder. ;-)
