Currently hrwiki, zhwiki, zhwikiquote and zhwikivoyage have "F" as an alias to file namespace. They should be removed as they conflicts with a new proposed interwiki prefix. (This may need community discussions.)

Stang closed the zhwiki discussion on Jan 12 finding consensus to remove. The discussion also suggested that "FT" for file talk should also be removed likewise. Some participants were concerned about the usage of the prefix in edit summaries; precise data about the scale of that could be obtained (?)

There’s consensus on zhwikiquote and zhwikivoyage and no objections on hrwiki. Participants in the discussions suggested using a bot to mass-replace existing usage of the alias.

Change 941995 had a related patch set uploaded (by EpicPupper; author: EpicPupper):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Remove F: namespace alias
Comment Actions
I've replaced some instances of the alias in zhwiki and all instances in zhwikivoyage (hrwiki and zhwikiquote have none in pages). There are still some on zhwiki that need replacing; I can't edit these pages as I'm not autoconfirmed or an admin (in the case of user pages).
