On the final point, the "poster" style of interwiki link to sister
projects begins to look dated, at least to me. It obviously doesn't
scale well; or in other words it puts the onus on the project linked to,
to organise the material relevant to one WP topic, in such a way that a
single link can carry the whole weight. Innovation is at least possible.
That's an interesting point. I presume you mean wikisource here. For
Commons and Wikiquote (I'm unsure about the other projects) it is
fairly easy to have a corresponding page or category or both. If the
Wikipedia article is a person who is an author, then a wikisource page
is possible, and if the Wikipedia page is about a book or other
published work that could be on wikisource, then again a single link,
page or category is usually possible. But there are some articles
where this system does fall down. I presume the place to put links to
editorially selected wikisource pages would be in the external links,
or as a courtesy link in a citation.
