I haven't tried this tool, but is it smart enough to know that if
en.foo links to fr.foo, and fr.foo links to ca.foo, then en.foo should
link to ca.foo? Otherwise this problem seems like a massive amount of
manual intervention...
That's a later stage of the process.
This particular tool is to allow human intervention to ensure that
[[en:foo]] and [[fr:foo]] are actually about the same "foo", and similarly
for [[ca:foo]].
I'm doing the "de-en" set at the moment, and there are quite a few cases
where the two articles, despite having the same name, are radically
different.
The usual reason is that there are a good many things called "foo", all of
which probably appear on [[foo (disambiguation)]] or the equivalent.
However, different languages have their own ideas about which of those many
instances of "foo" should get the main article of that name.
