:::See [[interwiki link standard]] first.  When that works, we will want some abbreviations.  If I think [[Wikinfo]] has the best [[multiple point of view]] in English then [[m:]] should go to [[en:Wikinfo:]], but if [[Wikipedia]] has the only article in French then [[m:]] should go to [[fr:Wikipedia:]], etc..  We need a way to make faction-specific (maybe even individualized) interwiki links.  Note this only works if article titles are identical or there is very disciplined use of redirects for all possible titles (which is best anyway).


:''We should copy and rewrite the articles we refer to in the [[Meta-Wikipedia]] space, as these are not in general relevant to [[Consumerium]] or even to [[mediawiki]].  Rewrites could help get some concepts clearer, and link them to the issues here.''
