Description:
If the link is [[s:Some source|...]], now the tooltip shows "s:Some source".
With this change, it would show "Wikisource:Some source" or "Some source on Wikisource"
Ditto for "b:" and "Wikibooks:", "wikt:" and "Wiktionary:", etc.
This would help novice users who don't know the abbreviations and let the mouse
remain over links for seconds before clicking, to know where is the other end of
the link.
(The abbreviations could also be expanded to the local wikiproject names
(wikilibros, wikinoticias, etc.), but then the expansion would no longer be
valid link prefixes, so this last proposal is controversial.)
Requirments
- i18n messsage for extiw tooltips
- sitename storage in interwiki database
- or alternatively, define MediaWiki: keys like MediaWiki:Interwikiname-<prefix>
