ArticleName vs You can also type w:c:OtherWikiName:ArticleName, which works the same.

I was not aware that the interwiki map was able to be customised for an individual wiki, other than language links. Do you know of anywhere I can find out more about this? (I have never seen anything about that in any of the help pages)

I can perfectly understand why Wikia doesn't allow wikis to decide for themselves what gets in the global interwiki map. As for locally, it has been done before, I think even admins here can do. E.g. on w:c:tes-mods tes: links to w:c:elderscrolls.

If your goal is to treat Special:LinkSearch as a "maintenance page" containing items which much be removed, then your goal is different than mine.

Well, what's next though? Putting links to other articles as external links? Because that would give you a full list of all links on your wiki.

In the case you use a template for interwiki links, you would be able to easily find them through Special:WhatLinksHere of the template anyway, so.
