This sentence apears ungrammatical to me, and I seem partially unable to grasp its sense.

I've tried to rephrase it. I don't know what a "local link to Wikipedia" is, but the point seems to be whether $1 is a noun or an adjective (a noun probably).

If $1 is a language name it could be noun, adjective or adverb. Upper Sorbian and Czech, for instance, use adverbs (hornjoserbsce resp. česky). Other languages use an adjective, e.g. Polish (polski). So grammatical issues could arise. For Upper Sorbian and Czech it is possible to postpone the parameter $1 - home page $1 = startowa strona hornjoserbsce. Lower Sorbian uses adverb as well but Lower Sorbian language adverbs have always the same form as the corresponding adjectives.

This makes the message intranslatable as it is with the means we have currently. We have several classe of grammatical contructs for these cases, but none of them can be used with all language names. Few samples:

bold endings vary with the grammatical gender of $1
cursive items are choosen depending on lingual context.

code language class 1 class 2 class 3 class 4 class 5 remark
fr Franzüüsesch $1 op franzüüsesch $1 en franzüüsesch - - franzüüsesche $1 most common
rmy Zejeunerschprooch - $1 en Zejeunerschprooch $1 en de/ Zejeunerschprooch - zejeunerschproochije $1
eo Esperanto $1 op Esperanto $1 en Esperanto - $1 en de/ Schprooch Esperanto -
niu Schprooch vun Niuee - - - $1 en /de Schprooch vun Niuee -

This list is likely incomplete and applies only for text existing in some language. It you refer to text yet to be translated e.g., you have somewhat deviating grammatical classes.
