The Excel-comparison doesn't cover all the way. The key difference is that
Excel knows the language of the original document. So it's trivial to load that
translation and map one to another.

If you go to https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Statistik  is has no way of
knowing that it's german. Because there is no original document or language
code.

Meaning that it would have to scan all languages, which is currently not
possible because of the following:

* Right now aliases have to be unique between all other aliases in that
language and the canonical names. IF MW would go load and scan all languages,
this policy needs to be changed technically that there may never be a collision
between aliases even acros all languages.
* Last I checked there are a few special page that have a localized name in one
language, while another special page has another localized name in some other
language that is the same word. Languages have words that sometimes mean
different things.
