 From my experience, it would appear generally speaking article with 
more than 1 or 2 interwiki links will typically already exist on 
Wikidata, but not necessarily otherwise.

If there's a Wikidata item that linked to the corresponding article you 
are on, "Edit links" will appear on the side bar under Languages.
