Late reply to "[do] words in different scripts" have issues like French/English wikis' apostrophes:
- Wikis use different codepoints (sometimes inconsistently) for palochkas; https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Beer_parlour/2016/April#Palochka .
- Hebrew Wiktionary standardizes apostrophes (ר'), English standardizes geresh (ר׳).
Wiktionarians regularly fail to create redirects / interwiki links for this, so if Cognate ignores this until later, it doesn't make anything any worse than it is, IMO.
Sometimes, the English Wiktionary uses a straight and curly or modifier apostrophe contrastively: Mopan Maya ka'an ("sky") vs Yucatec Maya ka’an ("sky"): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Beer_parlour/2013/July#Apostrophe_conflict_between_Yucatec_Maya_and_Mopan_Maya . This may be an issue the English Wiktionary needs to fix internally by standardizing on one apostrophe! It may also not be any obstacle to what you're doing here.
Btw, hard redirects like the Vietnamese Wiktionary uses for xoá→xóa (mentioned above) would never be used by the English Wiktionary because the strings could be separate words in other languages, like Icelandic sóa and Hungarian soá are.
Question: will it be possible for templates/modules to query the existence of a page in another language's Wiktionary? This would be useful to the English Wiktionary's https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:t%2B.
