This may probably have to be split into several enhancement requests. Here is the idea: In the Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages, we have several special pages which inter-language-link to the corresponding special pages of all other Wikipedias, e.g. [[Special:Statistics]], et al. Maintaining these links in [[MediaWiki:xxx]] pages, is such boring and tedious a task, that it would have to be left to a bot. 1. having a means available, that would loop through all wikipedias using the data already present in [[special:sitematrix]] would require nothing but a one-time setup. 2. as Wikipedias, and other project wikis, are set up, and sometimes closed, or renamed, it would be nice at times, to use constructs similar to: {{#ifwiktionary|af|Look up [[:wikt:{{PAGENAME}}|]] in the {{#languagenameadjective|af}} Wiktionary}} or there is {{#ifwikpedia|{{wikilanguage}}|a|no}} Wikipedia... This is a suggestion to think about. Proper caching would certainly be an issue.
Introduced {{#ifsiteexists}} and {{#siteurl}} in r33618.
Reverted in r33685. These generally skeeze me out; among other things, they would fail utterly at any source-based mirror site, which means they're functionally an active problem in mirroring and distributing data (which is like our core mission).
