I don't know if others run in to this situation, but I'll throw this idea/request out there and see what folks think.

A lot of what I use the API for is for WikiProjects.  As such, I'm often getting a list of pages by looking for a project template, which is on the talk page.  Then I have to turn that around and get the actual articles from main-space.

So I was wondering about way to get the "switch" of a page id.  The two possibilities I thought of are:

action=query&prop=info&inprop=talkid&pageids=15580374

action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Talk:Main%20Page&rvprop=mainid

Either one would take a page or set of pages and return either the talk page id or the mainspace id.

Is this something that's doable?  Desired?  Thoughts?
