[http://disinfopedia.org/ Disinfopedia] is probably more relevant to Consumerium work than meta Wikipedia, so, it would be nice to easily link to there.  They like us are about exposing evil, so, we may need to let them do for instance the identifying of people and organizations with agendas.  Also opponents of any of our [[faction]]s would want to write articles on them there, and we should keep an eye on that.

Disinfopedia doesn't have an [[w:InterWiki]] namespace... I added Consumerium to the [[w:MeatballWiki]] InterWiki-map, but it has a delay and is propably not propagated to Wikipedia or Disinfopedia. I really haven't investigated the issue properly.
But on linking to [[Wikipedia]] from other wikis using Wikipedia-software:
One neat feature for Wikipedia Phase IV would be Javascript that automatically checks are your links blue or red while editing and TAB-completion like on UNIX shells. When editing [[Consumerium]] we have to "preview" and then "open in new window" all links going to [[Wikipedia]] to check that article name is correct, which is just putting unncessary load on the 'pedia. It'd be supercool if the Javascript would also store few first lines of content and show that in a hoverbox, so one could quickly make sure it's pointing to the right concept (like [[w:LLC]] has no mention of Limited Liability Company, but some stuff about Logical Link Control, which is propably not what we mean)
I should mail Wikitech-L about this.... I have some other suggestions too
