I'll code it soon. The biggest open question is what syntax to use. I
think I'll go for [[Sidebar:Wiktionary:Bla]] (where "Sidebar:" would have
to be localizable).
If I understand him correctly, Brion has argued that these links should be
automagically displayed if there is an article with the same title on a
sister project wiki. That would be nice, but harder to implement.

Hoi,
It is not a good idea to have automagic links; the reason for this is
that it does not take into account that there are these disambiguation
pages and consequently namaes that do not match, it does not take into
account that wiktionary has both lower and upper case characters. As to
the syntax, why not a short IPL for InterProject Link. It would also be
nice it the shorthand like w: and wikt: would be possible as well.
One nice feature would be, if you have a link one way to have it
automagically also the other way. Another point is, do we allow for
IPL's that cross a language divide (this would ask for [[IPL:w:en:Bla]]) ??
Thanks,
GerardM
