Raw links in [[Template:ga-noun]]

That's some of what I was exploring a while back with a suggestion of reworking entry structures to use subpages for each language. Our current data model is horrifically abnormal (from a database standpoint), and that makes all kinds of things much more difficult or even impossible. I do terminology work in my day job, and we use actual database-backed tools with proper data models. Things that are trivial there are non-starters here. I'm no whiz DBA, but I know enough to know that "everything as text in one page" is ... I don't know what to call it, but "anti-model" might be the best term.

Anyway, I met all kinds of opposition to my suggestion, and it didn't (and still doesn't) strike me as all that radical; much luck to you for coming up with an approach for better data organization that garners a more positive response.
