There are multiple issues with linking the German
Wikipedia's "afrikanische Pflaume" to the French Wikipedia's
"safou":
1) A tree can only interwikilink to a tree or combined article on the tree
+ fruit and a fruit can only interwikilink to a fruit or a combined
article on the tree + fruit (this is the "single vs. multiple concepts"
problem Gerard refers to)
2) There is no way of making an interwikilink for a redirect, and the
German Wikipedia's "afrikanische Pflaume" is currently a redirect to
"Prunus"

Linking a newly created article would be done using the "add links"
feature at
the bottom of the sidebar. That should not have
changed at all in the
last
couple of months, as far as I know.
Can you identify which change exactly is the problem, and why it is
problematic?
I tried to link "afrikanische Pflaume " to "safou " the fruit and got
an
error which was not helpful. I tried to report it here, and nobody used
time to look into it. So my personal user experience degraded from usable
to not usable.
But I have no idea which change caused the this.
