Re: Interwiki links with spaces not underscores.

This would probably break something involving links.

One way to do it would be to run the query:
INSERT INTO `interwiki` ( `iw_prefix` , `iw_url`) VALUES ('Cache',
'http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:$1');
INSERT INTO `interwiki` ( `iw_prefix` , `iw_url`) VALUES ('Google',
'http://www.google.com/search?q=$1');
INSERT INTO `interwiki` ( `iw_prefix` , `iw_url`) VALUES
('GoogleGroups', 'http://groups.google.com/groups?q=$1');

Although this will generate the standard
Titles_with_underscores_in_between_words.
