I just wanted to mention that I made an interwiki gadget for the Dutch
wiktionary long time ago, that just crawls through the toolserver databases to
list interwikilinks (pages with equal names as well as all interwikilinks found
on these pages). Only in case the toolserver database servers are down, http
requests are send out. If there is interest I can share the php code so it can
be generalised it in an interwikibot for wiktionary (or with some more work for
the other project families as well).
Regards
Annabel

By the way, this approach lied into my account approval request ACCAPP-97.
Though that tool is just a statistical one, the equal approach can speed up
interwiki business in times. This is how appropriate interwikis in be: and
be-x-old: (their absence actually) are listed in tables for future processing.
Using the replicated data instead of making http (api)
requests should speed
up the data collection phase of large inteerwiki groups from several minutes
to a seconds or so.
