User blog:JoshuaJSlone/Sister wiki link idea

So I had an idea for a template. We have interlanguage links that take us to the same pages on different-language versions of the H!P Wiki, but what about links to equivalent pages between English sister wikis? Not all pages or categories would be expected to have equivalents, but for those that do we could just put something like at the bottom, and the links would appear. Since this is really a pretty simple thing to accomplish, I set up a simple version of such a template and placed it in Category:April Births, since that's one page that does have equivalents UFG, ABP, and NGP wikis.

It's easy to change how this would show up. Right now I've got it as a simple set of links put in a small font so it's pretty unobtrusive. It could be made even smaller with abbreviations or using icons to represent the other wikis. Since it's all formed by template it would be easy to add/remove target wikis in the future as well.

Downsides to this idea:
 * There's no way for the template to tell if such a page actually exists at another wiki, so someone could end up following a link to a nonexistant page. Less likely to happen if only placed appropriately, though even if one or two sister wikis has a page not all of them might.
 * Would highlight inconsistencies like one wiki using "1992 Births" versus another's "1992 births", since a link from one wouldn't lead to the other. Such things could be helped by renaming by bot, though.
