Wikimedia Interwiki Search Results messages shouldn't link to pages named "Main Page"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

All of the 284 messages in the group Wikimedia Interwiki Search Results on Translatewiki link to Wikipedias using the link [[:langcode:Main_Page|Wikipedia in XX language]]. On the vast majority of languages the actual page "Main Page" is a redirect to the real title of their Main Page – and that redirect can even be deleted (don't think that's done often, but it is possible). So instead, those links should just be [[:langcode:|Wikipedia in XX language]]. I propose changing the English-language original messages to that format, which is shorter and avoids the awkward redirects.
