Maybe joining then sorting the rev tables of enwiki, dewiki, and frwiki. That 
would be a possibly useful query that someone might want to do, but we cant do

Can we limit the amount of CPU/processing a query could take? If not, that 
would be a very useful MySQL function. We could then run those queries but 
expect them to take a lot longer.-Matt
