Regarding the poll at plwikinews (https://pl.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Kawiarenka#Alias_WN), I would like to request an alias WN for the namespace Wikinews:.
There are currently around 30 pages with titles starting with WN: and they all are redirects to the metapages. When there is the requested alias, they are supposed to stay in Wikinews: (like WN:BAR should become Wikinews:BAR). Do we have to move these pages manually?

@Msz2001 Redirection from "WN:" to "Wikinews:" working, https://pl.wikinews.org/wiki/WN:Kawiarenka#Alias_WN
WN:FAQ was moved to https://pl.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:FAQ/old&redirect=no - you might want to delete it.
WN: seems stuck:
$ mwscript namespaceDupes.php plwikinews id=4839 ns=0 dbk=WN: *** invalid title 1 pages to fix, 0 were resolvable.
Not sure what to do about that. @Urbanecm maybe you are familiar with this situation?
The other WN: pseudo-namespace pages were simply renamed to Wikinews:
The page 'WN:' may be renamed for example to 'Wikinews:Empty' or something like that. We will then decide whether it's needed at all and what name it could have. As far as I remember, it's one of redirects to the shortcuts list (the other one being pretty standard 'WN:WN').
Page with that ID cannot exist with the new alias:
wikiadmin@10.64.16.7(plwikinews)> select * from page where page_id=4839\G

wikiadmin@10.64.16.7(plwikinews)>page_title cannot be empty. The solution is to revert the change, do the move, revert the revert. I'll do that now (all locally at a mwdebug).

I suppose this is a bug in namespaceDupes.php then - if the title is invalid, it should apply the prefix/suffix but doesn't.
