It would probably be better to support putting multiple languages, much as MediaWiki.org allows multiple hooks to be specified in its [[mw:Template:Extension/doc#Usage]].

:Is that a specific MW extension that needs to be installed? According to [[Special:Version|this]], I can't find anything similar in the list. I'm not sure I'd support this . . . identical wikis of different languages (ie, en.wikipedia.org, it.wikipedia.org, ru.wikipedia.org) will all have their own separate article listing here on WikiIndex, with their 'mother' category or article using the {{tl|MultilingualMain}} template (rather than the default {{tl|Wiki}}). For those genuinely single wikis which are multilingual (such as this [[WikiIndex]]), I think the current infobox lead language of 'Multilingual', followed by individual languages listed by tagging in prose or separate 'categories' at the bottom of the edit box will suffice. However, I remain open to this, and wait others opinions too.

For populating the [[mw:Manual:interwiki table|interwiki table]], it would also be useful to have fields for [[mw:Manual:Interwiki_table#iw_prefix|iw_prefix]], [[mw:Manual:Interwiki_table#iw_url|iw_url]], and [[Manual:Interwiki_table#iw_api|iw_api]]. iw_url can probably be inferred in many cases from the recentchanges URL, or maybe there is some other way that an automated script can figure it out. | |||
There is quite a lot of data that can be harvested from wikis using [[mw:API:Meta]], and which could be pushed into this template or into another template. That extra data need not even be visible when the template is rendered; in other words, those parameters don't need to actually be used by that template. It could just be there for the benefit of those who use bots to obtain data about wikis. An alternative is that I could just store it in the interwiki whitelist. Perhaps it's better if WikiIndex mostly just have data that requires human intervention to gather, leaving the bot-gathered stuff for other wikis.
