Hello,

I'm trying to see if it is possible to post an api request to all
wiktionaries with a single query?

As interwikis in wiktionary interlink to other wiktionaries on
homonyms, I thought it to be useful to present users who end up at
404-not found pages with interwiki links to possible existing articles
on other wiktionaries.

These interwikis could be dynamically added to
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Noarticletext

I wrote a little php script which recursively queries all wiktionaries
to see if an article exists, but it takes too long to query all
wiktionaries to verify the existence of a certain.

See the (draft) script at http://pastebin.com/mLAdDpwA

More on the application of this you can read at
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Beer_parlour/2013/February#Interwiki_on_404.27s.3F

I'd be happy to know if there's a smoother way to approach this,
otherwise a batch-scripting-option?

Thank you,

Stratoprutser
