Help me!
Please help me with... Short Version: there's this dam in Switzerland. In English Wikipedia the article for the lake redirects to the dam and in German the article for the dam redirects to the lake. I want there to be a link between the two in the Languages section. What should I do?

Long version: the Grande Dixence Dam article is about a major hydroelectric dam in Switzerland but doesn't have a link to a German version in the Languages section. I speak German so I was able to find this article which is about the lake behind the dam. Trying the name of the dam 'Grande Dixence' in German redirects to the lake's article but trying the name of the lake 'Lac des Dix' in English redirects to the dam's article.

As a result, whenever I try to link the two the wikidata site links thing rejects my attempt. I found https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Merge but I'm not clear how that will work in this situation. Some clarification is needed. Hourbad (talk) 11:25, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, there isn't a great way to create an interlanguage link on Wikidata in this case. Wikidata will only allow one item to be connected to a page on a project, and the dam and the lake are two separate things, so merging them together is a bad idea. You could manually add the link by placing  at the bottom of the English Wikipedia article. That will cause the interlanguage link to appear in the sidebar. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 05:51, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've done that. Thanks! Hourbad (talk) 13:55, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
