I will first code my stuff as planed and then, if I still have some time, create this new table and adapt my code to use it. I have updated the proposal after a discussion with Roan: we think that using a shared table with all the interwiki transclusion links would be much more practical, especially when we need to update it when a calling page is edited/deleted/moved... Can you please have a look at it again?
