Hi all, I just noticed that interwiki mappings have been established from (at least) en.wikipedia to wikicities (e.g. [[Wikicities:c:StarWars:Jedi]]).
I wonder, could someone point me to the discussion which preceeded this decision?

This is the case for many wikis. There isn't any discussion of these since they can just be added to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map which is a publicly editable page.
Wikicities is in the interwiki map, along with dozens of other wikis. Redirects within the Wikicities set up allows the use of c:WikiName to be a link to a particular Wikicity (this prevents each individual Wikicity needing to be added).
There are help pages on this at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking and http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Help:Interwiki_link
The idea is explained at http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?InterWiki and used on many wikis (see http://www.google.com/search?q=InterWikiMap)
