Add 'WP' namespace alias to ruwiki | operations/mediawiki-config | master | +1 -1 |
Event Timeline
"WT:" wasn't discussed and completely senseless. Aliases for talk namespaces are not practiced in ruwiki.
"WT:" was offered by Sunpriat, and it didn't cause any objection. We already have two alias to the "Обсуждение участника:" ("User talk:") space: "UT:" and "ОУ:". So I don't see any problem.
I object. Unlike "user talk", "wikipedia talk" namespace used very weakly and there are completely no sense to create alias for it.
https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:%D0%A1%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B8&days=30&from=&namespace=5&limit=500 - it is normally used. Of course, not as often as the "ОУ:", but it would be incorrect to call it underutilized.
+ tracking category.
I think that abbreviating "Wikipedia talk" as "WT" was not discussed properly, so only other part of the task should be done (as there is consensus for it in the community).
Seeing that there's disagreement, about at least one part of the request, I'm adding Community-consensus-needed. The task is stalled, anyways.
In order not to stop the job, I removed from the request part for which no consensus was reached.
Seeing that there's consensus for WP we can go ahead with it IMHO. We can later add new aliases if the community so decides.

Some pgaelinks caught up while running the namespaceDupes.php script. Hopefully null editing these pages would fix it.
