Hi,
I'm trying to write an extension that will work basically like a "What
Links Here?" between three wikis in a wiki-family. I saw something in
the mailing list archives from Brion that got interwiki links stats by
using this query: SELECT count(*) from cur where cur_text like
"%[[la:%"; I'm guessing that is an old version and it would be looking
at the revision or text tables now. Would I still need to basically
parse the wikitext of a page to find the interwiki links?
In 1.7 and later, *interlanguage* links are stored in the 'langlinks'
table. This will include interwiki links which are set up as local
language links, but not those used for inline linking.
Some fiddling around between Parser.php and LinksUpdate.php could add
records of those to another table, in theory.
Otherwise you'll have to stick to searching the source text, which I'm
afraid is a bit hairier since 1.5, as text is stored in a separate
table, potentially with compression etc.
