The sites table is a more general solution to what the interwiki table does. So, the updater should initialize the sites table from an existing interwiki table.
What "updater"? Is this about a MediaWiki software upgrade?
(In reply to comment #1) > What "updater"? Is this about a MediaWiki software upgrade? Yes. This is about maintenance/update.php
This should be easy to do. As long as the population script is a maintenance script that subclasses LoggedUpdateMaintenance, and then we'd just add it to DatabaseUpdater::$postDatabaseUpdateMaintenance.
