Just to clarify: This is not to be misunderstood, I am proposing to keep all
kinds of name space links intermingled in ONE namespace in the central wiki -
after all, name spaces are crosslinked interwikiwise at times, e.g. Portal with
(main), or Help and Project are common examples, so we cannot avoid
crossnamespace links anyways.

I do NOT, however, propose to add a central wiki namespace name in the
{#interwiki...} syntax on individual project wikis. The central wiki namespace
name, if any, should be set once per project wiki when the extension is
installed, and should be implicit from a users standpoint of view. I suggest
using what the pywikipediabot framework calls "wiki family" for the central
wiki namespace name, but that's a different subject matter.
