Description:
The default behavior of links seems to be to add a link to a table:
categorylinks
pagelinks
imagelinks
externallinks
langlinks
templatelinks
But there is no table to store non-language interwiki links.
It would be really useful (to me anyway) to store interwiki links somehow, even if they are stored inside of one of these other tables.
I think with the proper planning this could fix (or help fix) the following bugs:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167 - store IW links as metadata
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1394 - IW what links here from common
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1886 - more general IW what links here
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4591 - local IW links made bold
