Change Wikipedia: and Wikipedia_talk: namespaces for Mongolian (for Mongolian Wikipedia)
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I believe this is no longer translateable via TranslateWiki (I remember being able to previously), so I'm requesting this here.

Currently on mnwiki, the Wikipedia namespace is set to "Wikipedia". This should be "Википедиа"
The Wikipedia talk namespace (or is this a separate TranslateWiki item?) is set to the stilted "Wikipedia-н хэлэлцүүлэг". This should be "Википедиагийн хэлэлцүүлэг".

While I haven't asked the community about this change,

  • This is the one of just a few high-visibility namespace not translated
  • We've had many people create Википедиа: prefixed articles without understanding they're going to the main namespace (these have been moved to the Wikipedia: namespace)
  • I'm an admin at mnwiki, and we don't have too much discussion going on, so feedback is far from given
  • Wikipedia is widely referred to as Википедиа in mnwiki, including the logo
  • Wikipedia talk is translateable to "Википедиагийн хэлэлцүүлэг". This follows the convention of the other talk pages, such as "Тусламжийн хэлэлцүүлэг"

Event Timeline

Project talk: is translated as "$1-н_хэлэлцүүлэг" but it is wrong because it becomes "Wikipedia-н хэлэлцүүлэг". I assume this translation (suffix) is wrong, right?

It's technically correct, and works as a default, but as Mongolian words change based on grammar rules, if Википедиа was set as the project name, it would become "Википедиа-н хэлэлцүүлэг" - it should be "Википедиагийн хэлэлцүүлэг" (if that makes sense?)
