Right. This would require a small change in the software: just do not treat
an interwiki link to one's own wikipedia in a special way. Just present them
like all others. Or just filtr it out centrally.

I wonder why this is not a problem today. The interwiki robots seem to be
making a good job today. And if there is no entry for a topic in en.wiki,
then why not start an interwiki ring in another language? As soon as en.wiki
wants to join, it would be possible. I do not see the problem.

Kind regards,
