Dear friends,

we have a wiki [1] with ~30 sisters in different languages. All the wikis run on the same server using the same the code, but have different database prefixes.

Keeping the interlanguage links using pywikipediabot (what we currently do) is very inefficient, to link a single page in a single variant to all its translations we need ~30 updates. I know Interlanguage extension should help us with this issue, but its description says it will not be used for Wikimedias wikis, but will be replaced by Wikibase extension, that is more versatile.

The ideal state is that all pages from non-English wikis contain only a link to English version (in some format), nobody has to add any other links by hand and the symmetric and transitive closure of the links is updated either fully automaticly or using simple maintenance script (preferably runnable on the same server, without using API as Pywikipedia bot does).

Is this goal realistic? Shall we use Interlanguage or Wikibase?

Thanks, Zbynek Konecny
