Editing Interwiki

'''Interwiki''' links reduce the complexity and help [[focus and filter]] wiki content so that the most qualified individuals and robust processes, which may be very different for different types of information, can be brought to bear on a "knowledge management" (or [[instructional capital]] development) problem.

An [[interwiki link standard]] adopted by many cooperating consumer concern projects (like [[Consumerium itself]]) would make pages more portable between wikis.  When [[multiple point of view]] becomes a competing, rival or simply mutually incomprehensible [[factional point of view]], it may be necessary for a group (typically that without [[infrastructure owners trust]] to [[fork off]] not only a namespace, but an entire wiki.  Part of the deal should be that the forkers support only [[ethical trolling]] of the original wiki in exchange for fair [[redirect]]s ([[interwiki redirect]]s are good sometimes if they keep the peace) and mutual respect.

[[interwiki synchronization]] is a major concern of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]
which has worked towards more robust maps of any given wiki's '''interwiki''' links [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/06/14/wikimedia-foundation-report-may-2012/].  A [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/wiki/Interwiki_synchronization somewhat confused account] refers to synonyms, attempts to [[conflate]] as if they were necessarily attempts to obscure or confuse or as "conflicts", ignoring the different ontologies of different [[natural language]]s that complicate [[interlanguage]] links (
''see also [[universal translator]]'').  However, the quote is self-evident:
:''The task of synchronizing these links manually is hard, but challenging and interesting. A central hub for discussing this will foster further cooperation and concord between different language Wikipedias.'' [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/wiki/Interwiki_synchronization]

For a [[healthy buying infrastructure]] and [[Consumerium itself]], some uses of interwiki.
* to [[spread liability]] for contentious or erroneous information to those who are most committed to keeping it accurate, or most afraid of it being inaccurate - ''See especially [[interference with commerce]] and [[legal tactics that can be used to destroy Consumerium]]''
* to identify and [[translate news]] relevant to [[buying criteria]] or [[corporate behavior]] so that a lack of reporting in one language does not cause Consumerium to fail at [[international trade]] where this is often the case - ''see [[multi-language support]]''
* to simplify the functions of various [[namespace]]s and develop a deeper [[wiki/namespace/page]] structure to allow for variant privacy policies and liability policies and dispute resolutions in [[Consumerium governance]], specifically:
**a hard news wiki or namespace reporting on events that cast doubt on current rankings, labels, ratings or otherwise - ''see [[Guidelines for claiming corruption cases in Research Wiki]] which may ultimately need news to be ranked as credible or [[freedom of information]] requests to resolve a dispute''
**a [[human health]] wiki dealing with the complexity of the human body, mind and social health and the economic view of it ([[human capital]]) so that any claim of
