As suggested in T295621, we can leverage the interwiki map to accomplish two things:
This task only covers getting the library added to the interwiki map.

@Urbanecm I see you've been active at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map recently - could you shine a light on whether this is a valid use case for the interwiki map, before I post a request there? I notice that page implies that it's only supposed to be used for links which are used across a lot of pages - we're wanting to leverage it for a slightly different reason, though it's technically true that the link would be used a lot.
If I understand correctly, the User-notice tag was not intended to be replicated here (it was just copied whilst creating the subtask), so I'm removing it.
If I'm mistaken, please re-add it, and let us know what you want the Tech News entry to say! Thanks.
This is now done!
We need to wait for the interwiki cache to get updated before this is actually available to users, which seems to happen sporadically, approximately every 1-3 months. I'll park this in Done until that's actually happened.
