Commons has enough to do with keeping metafiles up to date, they'd be crashed by also having to maintain IW links. I'd propose a new wiki, to which editors have to apply to get write access so that vandalism in this critical part is prevented. For the meanwhile, theoretically one could launch a huge query on toolserver which scans for conflicts. I'm not sure if this would be possible regarding performance, though.
