Do all teh various wikimedia projects really use the identical software - with the same database structuer? - wikipedia, wikiquote, wiktionary etc?
Yes.
There are a couple of configuration differences - sub-pages allowed in the main namespace on Wikibooks, custom namespaces in various places, Wiktionary doesn't capitalise the first letter of titles (so "Foo" is not the same as "foo"), etc, but these are all options available to anyone installing the MediaWiki software, and make no difference to the basic database structure. There are also one or two additional extensions installed - such as the <DynamicPageList> on Wikinews - these are also available to anyone who wants them, and are relatively superficial.
