Well in the case of vikidia it assumes that the language code 'de' is a part of the family, but the Special:Interwiki page reveals that it's actually another wiki (http://grundschulwiki.zum.de/wiki/Hauptseite , although I don't know if they are affiliated): http://en.vikidia.org/wiki/Special:Interwiki

And the mainpage of the English Vikidia shows an interwiki link to 'de:': http://en.vikidia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action="">

I'm not sure what the solution there is, because it seems like a method which analyses it without any prior checking. The most flexible way would be to use 'APISite.interwiki()' which would tell that there is no family for grundschulwiki.zum.de.

As one of Vikidia sysadmins I can clarify the point with the de: interwiki on Vikidia. Years ago, there used to be a de.vikidia.org, but grundschulwiki.zum.de that was more active than de.vikidia.org contacted us in order to be "partners", that's why de.vikidia.org isn't active anymore and all Vikidia interwiki links now to "de" point to grundschulwiki.zum.de. It is in fact an interwiki link, with a wiki outside of the Vikidia Family. it is the same case with the nl: interwiki that points to wikikids.nl.
