Namespace aliases for scn.wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please create the following namespaces on Sicilian Wikipedia:

CAT = Categoria = Category = Catigurìa (we proposed also "C" but seems not feasible - thanks Nemoralis)
T = Template
U = User = Utenti
DU => NS_USER_TALK
DP = Discussioni progetto
DW = Discussioni Wikipedia

I think the command to be added to the configuration file is:
$wgNamespaceAliases = array('CAT' => 14, 'T' => 10, 'DP' => 103, 'DW' => 5);

Consensus is in https://scn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Circulu#creare_alias_redirect_namespace

Benefits (why should this be implemented?): typing and linguistical advantages

Nemoralis changed the subtype of this task from "Feature Request" to "Task".Sun, Sep 29, 4:55 PM

C is a interwiki for Wikimedia Commons so it will not work. I am not sure about the rest; DP and DW is unassigned ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code

T363538 means that namespace aliases conflicting with interwikis are now a supported concept. So if you really want to you could hijack "C:". But I advise against it.

I personally don't think we should worry about namespace aliases conflicting with unassigned ISO codes.

Uh! So fast. Thanks.

That's one small step for 'a' man, one giant leap for arancinu (and https://scn.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT:Cucina_siciliana )

Melos claimed this task.

is possible to have also the italian extended translation?
like for example: Categoria corresponds to CAT=Category=Catigurìa
