I think it's ok that they're linked there. The alternative is to have
a blank page, and I don't think showing another language is worse than
nothing. People can still edit it, and add something in their own
language until we can split these off into their own wikis.

It's quite easy to add a quick English definition at the top. It takes
no longer than deleting and isn't so likely to upset the new users.
Here's an example:

Even if it's not possible to write something in English, you could add
a heading like
==English==
and leave it for someone else to fill in. The heading makes it clear
this just hasn't been written yet.
