Is this http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MerlIwBot/WikiData what you are looking for?
Well, probably. Probing Wikidata and seeing whether the page appears there sounds reasonable. If everybody uses it, of course. What happens if a bot doesn't behave well and does add a plain old interlanguage link to a page that is already connected to Wikidata? Which link will be shown to the reader - the old, the new, or both?
The local one will overwrite the one in Wikidata. So the local one is shown.
This is not correct. Local pages _can_ overwrite the data from Wikidata, but do not do so automatically. They have to use the noexternalinterlang [1] parsefunction to do so. As of now, both would be shown.
Insofar as both point to the same page, that should be considered a bug and is going to change. I filed a respective bug [2].
Cheers, Denny
