That's Wikisource. :)

Actually Wikiquote and Wikivoyage use interwikis exactly like Wikipedia; 
Commons in the same way except it's interproject; Wiktionary in the same 
way except it's case-sensitive and not about concepts (opr about a 
stricter definition of concept); Wikisource in a completely different 
way; Wikibooks, Wikinews and Wikiversity I'm not sure.
As for phase II, it's another story. Wikisource and Commons would 
benefit a lot from it; for Wiktionary it could be a revolution; for 
Wikispecies idem but with less effort (?); Wikiquote would become

It's impossible to plan or discuss anything without knowing what matters.
