That requires a communication between different wikis. Right now they are
independent. Not even interwiki templates are ready.

Gerard M also once mentioned an initiative to create a "single point of
reference".
Having that, an article in one of the wikies could have 1 link to that
spor,
and the spor would have links to all the wikis who have an article on that
subject.
It would save billions of edits on our servers. It would also solve much
of
the hassle in this thread.

Really? From what I've heard, the devs are
making pretty good progress
towards it.
I've seen a demo somewhere that finds all user accounts that match up.
SUL
is no easy task, but it is achievable.
Anyway, on the topic of interwiki bots, as an admin on en.wikinews I
would
prefer to be asked. We protect everything when it
is about a week old,
so
bots that go into the archives won't work. I
also have concerns that
replacing fair use images with free ones on old articles could distort
Wikinews' historical record. For example, using a picture taken years
after
an event that is free instead of one available at the time and more
representative.
Brian.
