Hi,

This simple quarry should return some pages in enwiki which have no fa interwiki. It works for articles, but not for templates (the results for templates have fa interwiki). Can somebody help?

I couldn't find an example in the results. Note that there may be a problem in the database, like a deferred update.

Looks like Wikidata doesn't do database updates properly. I did a null edit on that page and now the entry is in the database. Unfortunately, you will need to do this on every page if you want accurate results.

Thank you, but isn't there any more efficient and standard way to fix the problem? The quarry I referred to was just an example I made to show the issue. The quarry that I used and encountered problem with has more than 13k results, which performing null edit on that number of pages is impractical.

Well, to "fix the problem" you need to somehow trigger a new database update. And as a casual user, the only way (if you're lucky) is really performing a null edit. I will make a bug report on this shortly.
