4 years later. A solution is needed for " https://sv.wiktionary.org/wiki/When_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do. " vs " https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do ". Either by allowing linking to redirects, or by some other trick. Most wiktionaries hace restrictive policies when it comes to redirects. For example "colour" redirecting to "color" is prohibited on many wiktionaries and thus probably not an issue. Those are NOT same pages. But "When_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do." and "when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do" are same. There is no obvious solution about how to deal with proverbs on wiktionaries. EN wikt has a policy to remove final punctuation and avoid capitalization of beginning letter of a sentence, thus the lemma form is "** when_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do **". SV wikt has a policy resulting in "** When_in_Rome,_do_as_the_Romans_do. **" (uppercase "W" and dot at the end). Those are SAME LEMMAS and should thus be linked to each other. Unfortunately automatically adjusting the letter case is not possible as it would result in a huge number or false positives. Allowing automatic interwiki linking to redirects would allow to solve the problem manually by creating redirects on both sides. I do not see any better "magic" solution now. If there is an issue with false positives then the interwiki linking to redirects can be restricted to pagenames containing at least one space. This would rule out a mess of "color" and "colour" and "colow" as pointed above. I consider "Cognate" as highly preferable to manual explicit interwiki links (as used befor 2017) but the issue with proverbs needs to be solved.
