Event Timeline
I still see editors on some wikis who go through lists of cross-namespace links to correct them, and only some of those wikis have stable facilities to produce such a list (presumably manual DB queries). So I think the feature would have its users.
The risk for controversies seems lower than with cross-namespace redirects and archived output seems to suggest that the list mostly caught potential spam.

Needs importing from SVN, cleaning up and testing on newer MW. Translations migrating to json files, then re-enabled in TranslateWiki
From https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CrossNamespaceLinks
There is a bug in the file SpecialCrossNamespaceLinks_body.php at the line 102 with the group by. This line is: GROUP BY page_id After the correction: GROUP BY page_id, page_title, pl_namespace
Seemingly line 68 now. Needs testing/checking
Nobody has imported the extension code from SVN in those eight years since this ticket was created.
Which makes me assume that nobody is interested enough in this. Boldly declining because that seems to better reflect the reality for the time being.
