Forum:Need help on interwiki variables

Is there a way for using interwiki variables like, in order to retrieve a statistic between different wikis, for example? I mean, how can I compile a string that update automatically, and let me know how many articles, or whatever, there are in other wikis? Is it possible? (For a pratical example of this needing, see this page of international statistics that need to be update, time after time) Thanks! Gifh 17:10, October 20, 2009 (local time)


 * Gifh, the opinion of myself and some members of the Community team is that this idea (which I think is a great one) can not really be done with the software as it is now. If you look at the Big Wikis hub, you'll see that the numbers there have to be updated manually. Now, some very MediaWiki saavy user (ex. User:Dantman) might know something we don't, so if he doesn't reply back here in a few days it might be advantageous for you to leave him a message on his talk page. DaNASCAT

Thank you, I see. I've just found this template from wikipedia, that use a bot for filling data. I'll stay tuned.... if some ideas come out! Gifh 22:27 October 20, 2009 (local time)
