This obviously covers only "local" interwikis, doesn't it?

What happens if there are multiple links to the same project?
I'm not sure it's wise to show "Text" in the sidebar, it could be half a
sentence.
For both points, it's probably better to adopt the usual implementation of
interproject templates, which AFAIK show only the first link to each project
and show only the name of the project in the sidebar, leaving the details to
the page body.

In any case, this will probably require some fixing of links which will need
the extra colon, which will acquire a new meaning (although consistent with its
current one). This shouldn't be a disaster, though, because inline interwikis
to random pages (no directly equivalent to the page they're in) are deprecated
on most projects, AFAIK; probably, it would be useful to ignore interwikis in
references, which could be dozens on a single page and are usually considered
the right way to link whatever page on another project (like any website).
