With reference to the grand scheme for interwiki prefix standardization, what do you think of the idea of hosting the interwiki list on this wiki? It would be a page with all the interwiki prefixes and their urls, e.g.:
wikipedia|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1|1 wikiquote|http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/$1|1 wikisource|http://wikisource.org/wiki/$1|1
The list would include not only Wikimedia Foundation wikis, but almost all the 20,000+ wikis in the wikisphere. The idea is to supersede the current 93-wiki list that is distributed with MediaWiki installations, and allow wikis to poll this list instead every 10-15 minutes for new data, much as they currently poll the metawikipedia:spam blacklist using mw:Extension:SpamBlacklist.
