I'm no expert, but I would expect that finding which articles are and are not present in a given set of Wikipedias would be an easy task now that Wikidata handles all the interwiki links.

This is excellent news, well done to everyone involved!
It's actually got me thinking a little. I wonder if it would be possible to do a study of the, say, 50 largest Wikipedias and get a handle on which articles are shared across all of them. This could then be used to analyse where there are gaps that might usefully be filled - both in terms of quality and content. Could be based around which articles are considered the most important in each Wikipedia, akin to the list of vital articles on EN:WP.
Is this something that could easily be done? Would it be useful?
Thanks and regards,
Stevie

Dear colleagues,
Please join me in congratulating our colleagues of the Greek
Wikipedia,
upon reaching 100000 articles, a symbolic milestone for Wikipedias.
Some of them are on this list, but a lot more people would see and appreciate your message on-wiki, so you can sign and (if you like)
add
a
message in your language, here:
