  Per site as the very minimum. Further abilities are in T127673: Ability to 
set up order and presence of sister projects 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127673> (there, because its solution is 
closer to that task than this).
  
  Don't compare with interlanguage links - while these have never been part of 
the page content, sisterproject links were/are and sisterprojects in sidebar do 
not completely replace them and basically //create the redundancy// which 
actually can easy become confusing (see below).
  
  In fact, if wikis wanted that feature, they would have turned on some gadget 
doing that ages ago, but as seen on most majority of wikis, there is none. So 
obviously there is no such a big need or even desire, fortiori urge for such 
feature. Various wikis use various ways how to display sisterproject links 
(infoboxes, sister project boxes, common sister projects box, "other projects" 
section, footer...) and they have reasons for that.
  
  Also: While there will be support only for 1:1 linking, such feature does not 
have any sense at least on pages where there is either more links to one sister 
project or link to relevant item which is not 1:1. One example on behalf of 
many others: band member quotes on Wikiquote with sisterproject link to the 
band article on Wikipedia (because due to notability there are no articles 
about single members) and vice versa - band article on Wikipedia having couple 
links to Wikiquote to its members quote pages.
