            Bug ID: 45116
           Summary: Add all global sites as valid interwiki links
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Interwiki links
          Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

With the introduction of wikidata, there now will be many links in the "global
sites" format:  "ruwiki + Title". From my IRC conversation, there are plans to
migrate interwiki table to the sites table.

As a stopgap measure, and to prevent any accidental conflicts in any
namespace/WMF site, please add all globally defined sites such as
xxwiki/xxsource/... (not sure which word is used for most of them) to the
interwiki table. This will instantly allow all links in the form
[[enwiki:Page]] to work on all WMF sites without any ambiguities, and might
help a number of javascript gadgets with Wikidata integration.
