From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
I'm in favor of the (language) dab term. Pretty much the only time I find myself linking to a page like French language is when I say (eg) "Babewyn is the French word for grotesque"; In that case, French (language) is far easier and more useful than manually piping away the second word. It's also very useful to be able to say that someone is a German soldier and have it link to Germany. I understand the case-by-case idea proposed above, but in the end that just lends itself to unnecessary inconsistency and confusion.
