I think this is a week point of our system. Work of Wikipedia is based on the approach that all the mistakes are easier to correct than to prevent. A vandal may "work" on several pages to be vandalized, and I can revert them in a few seconds. Or someone writes an article with a wrong title, I can easily rename it. But here to commit the mistake is easy (one wrong iw into one article), and, by means of bots, the correction gets difficult. This is a system inversion.
We should invent a systematical solution to this problem. I thought on some hidden comment next to a wrong iw that has a meaning for the bots to pick that iw out of all articles, and never put back. Or just never into that very article. (I just got Dr. Trigon's mail in the minute, that's another approach for the same problem, also a good point to start thinking.)
A more far-reaching and better solution has already been discussed for years, namely porting the interwikis to a separate (wiki) site, so that such changes can be made at once for all languages rather than having to be done separately at each. Maybe that will be worked on with the data project the Germans are setting up.
Also another approach thanks Binaris for mentioning it! The solution with 'Extension:Interlanguage' should be definately the way to go, what about a reply from the developers? I found a request on bugzilla [1] stating (in comment 94);
"It's currently targeted to receive a more comprehensive review around March 2012 at which point we'll get a good sense of how realistic a near term roll-out of that is."
...so this may still took a while... :(
Regarding the Wikidata, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiData_WMDE project; as it seams to be it is somehow very unclear about what this exactly is (but may this is just my problem ;)... As far as I can see it should provide an API to give access to all wikipedia content/data. But please correct and extend my statements here...
