There are a number of different components involved in this Task as those names come from: MediaWiki core, Scribunto, Gadgets and Site-requests for the local/custom namespaces. The current list of namespaces for diqwiki (and diq language in general) is at P44675.

@Aklapper shall this Task be split per-component?

I don't have a strong opinion about this. Docs I'm aware of are https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_site_requests#Change_the_translation_of_a_namespace

There are indeed two parts on this request:

• First, translation specific to the wiki -> that can be for configuration
• Secondly, translation for MediaWiki itself, like Kategori > Kategoriye, that should perhaps be done as localisation level, so everyone can benefit of this

(both can be done on that task, as Phabricator allows several tags/projects)

Gadgets extension no longer adds any namespaces.

Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3

@Balyozxane could you please review the current namespaceAliases and compare it to the translations provided. It seems that the current namespaceAliases translations are different now from what is shown in the description of the task. Once provided, the patch will be created to reflect the changes.

Sorry, wrong task ID, that belonged to T409329! I just pulled the command from my shell history without updating it 🤦

anything else left to do here

It looks like the only thing left to do, cross-checking with https://diq.wikipedia.org/wiki/X%C4%B1susi:NamespaceInfo, is the project namespace

Local name still appears as Wikipedia for Project in namespace info. Perhaps the project namespace needs to be added in the operations/mediawiki-config repository. As per the task description, it was requested as Wikipedia > Wikipediya.
