About a year ago, I developed a monkey patch for pywikipediabot which uses
the database (and wikiproxy if I'm right). It's in
/home/valhallasw/libs/python/pywikipedia/wikipedia_ts.py; just add
import wikipedia_ts
after import wikipedia and it should work. Or not, as it's from before the
database server split et cetera. Feel free to use it as a base for further
code (it's MIT licensed :))

Coincidentally, yesterday I released a MediaWiki extension which, if

Interesting. I have thought quite a bit about interwiki-links myself, and
studied some spectes of them for my thesis. A short writeup of a slightly
different proposal for interwiki-linking can be found here:

It works with a central database, but without a central wiki, and keeps
interwiki-maintenance largely "in-place".
