'Wiki' spelling in Urdu is wrong on some projects
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

'Wiki' word is spelled in Urdu as 'ویکی' unanimously, not 'وکی' (like shahmukhi punjabi does). And thats why Urdu Wikipedia is using that spelling. But Urdu wiktionary, wikiquote and wikibooks are using wrong spelling. We should change thier names to right ones, and I think it does not require any onwiki consensus.

@Tulsi_Bhagat
Now these names would be:
ویکی لغت for wiktionary
ویکی اقتباس for wikiquote
ویکی کتب for wikibooks
And their namespaces should be renamed as well.
Thanks.

The changes requested in this task seem to have been incorrectly implemented, as discussed at T223039#5186164. I have opened a new task, T223964, to fix the problem. (Sorry if I should have just reopened this task. I have been criticized in the past when I tried to fix incorrectly resolved tasks by reopening them.)
