Cross-wiki vandal fighters may find that to be a good x-wiki link. I'm sure I can think of a good case on a per-user basis why we should just show all of them on all wikis on all pages, and etc. > > > You are turning the dependencies upside down. CVWFs use their own tools. They have never had this feature thus you can't say that it's needed for them. I am considering very real uses cases which may provide for x-wiki Foobar happenings; x-wiki vandal fighters was only one of them. Some might consider that "making up use cases" (and they might be right), but it seems clear to me that someone will use these. Is support of customization so valuable to inhibit that user's potential uses...? Clearly you think 'yes'; my suggestion is 'no'. > MediaWiki.org links are in most cases irelevant to any //content// project, same with Meta links. If the links associated with a particular wiki are not relevant to the rest of the links in the item, they will not be attached to it in Wikidata. I can trivially point to cases where this can be observed. MediaWiki help pages and a number of essays on en.WP/Meta are the first off the top of my head where they //will// be attached. OTOH some pages will not be because either the Wikidata community disagrees with their inclusion (e.g. user/most special pages, which should be dealt with in the software) or because the page contents differ so-significantly (with a same/similar title) that the Wikidata community has policed the links away into another item. > ??? Interlanguage links were sort in abc order by lang code since the beginning, so there is nothing new in its sorting. This is a wrong statement. EN.WP if no-other wikis had custom sort orders in the editable text which subsequently reflected in the order displayed by the page.
