Description

A user created the page Tr:In Bruges on English Wikipedia. This should not have been allowed, since Tr: should (and does) redirect to Turkish Wikipedia. The page had to be deleted using the API; attempts to move or delete the page using the GUI generated errors.

Admins can see the now-deleted page listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/Mgc92

See this AN/I thread for more background: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=474470837#Article_created_on_en.wiki_that_forces_to_tr.wiki
