Description

The values of $wgMetaNamespace for urwiktionary, urwikibooks and urwikiquote contain spaces that need to be underscores instead (as noted at mw:Manual:$wgMetaNamespace).

Hence the following values should be set:

'wgMetaNamespace' => [
  'urwikibooks' => 'ویکی_کتب',
  'urwikiquote' => 'ویکی_اقتباس',
  'urwiktionary' => 'ویکی_لغت',
]

Fixing this may also fix the bug reported at T223039. (Maybe. I'm not sure.)

I don't know if a script needs to be run after this change is made.

@Tulsi_Bhagat please note that @Urbanecm has submitted a patch similar, but not identical, to yours in response to T223039: Project pages inaccessible on several projects because of spaces in wgMetaNamespace(Talk):

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/512426

His patch also fixes a space in the value of $wgMetaNamespaceTalk for aswikisource.

You two should probably decide which patch should be withdrawn.

@Dcljr Don't worry. We will take care of it.

Since my patch fixes the same error also for another project, i recommend abandoning Tulsi's patch in favour of mine. Also closed this as a dupe of T223039, since both are about the same thing.
