That's Wikisource. :)

Actually Wikiquote and Wikivoyage use interwikis exactly like Wikipedia; 
Commons in the same way except it's interproject; Wiktionary in the same 
way except it's case-sensitive and not about concepts (opr about a 
stricter definition of concept); Wikisource in a completely different 
way; Wikibooks, Wikinews and Wikiversity I'm not sure.

benefit a lot from it; for Wiktionary it could be a revolution; for 
Wikispecies idem but with less effort (?); Wikiquote would become
