Hey, I see that you're getting some interlanguage links set up. I like doing this too because I think it contributes to the coherence of Wikia as a whole and certainly reduces the vast number of überdead tiny wikis on the site.

I really think it's best to get wikis' permission before you do any of these things, though. I don't bother running around to every-single-foreign-wiki but I won't do a link without the English wiki's permission (or if it's requested by a foreign wiki's user, or if English wiki is by all definitions dead). Some wikis such as w:c:tardis have strict policies about interlanguage links and I don't want to get on anyone's bad side.

I certainly wouldn't ask for a wiki's URL to be changed without their consent... though I have acquired wiki's admins' permission to have URLs changed (for example, I had bg.seviland-encyclopedia moved to bg.pokemon).
