Since this is not a 2-line-code I guess it would be the best to make feature request for
that.
Or we have option d: wait for wikidata, maybe this request is obsolete til then.
I've implemented an option to search for several comments like "interwiki",
"+iw" etc. This gives not all interwiki changes but some of them.
If this is of some interest I could commit it soon.
regards

thanks, Morten:
if you know how to program in Python
well, I don't, ... not yet, that is,
one reason why I came here to ask :-)
my favourite is b.:
a. find the time and set the priorities to do it myself
b. ask sb else to support me by programming this query
c. follow a different kind of interest and not rely on the Wikipedia
community
anyone up for b.?
thanks
C.
