Update tooltip and accesskey for Special:Specialpages
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  1. Try hovering the Special pages link in a wiki with the link in the navigation section of the sidebar
  2. Try using the accesskey q for the link (alt + shift + q or similar key combination, exact combination should be visible in tooltip when hovering)

What happens?:

  1. No tooltip is displayed
  2. Nothing, accesskey does not work

What should have happened instead?:

  1. Tooltip from message 'tooltip-t-specialpages' should be displayed.
  2. Browser should go to [[Special:Specialpages]]

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

The link to [[Special:Specialpages]] has been moved from toolbox to navigation (T333211, T386761).
This changed the id of the link from 't-specialpages' to 'n-specialpages'.
The tooltip and accesskey for the link needs to be updated to use the new id.
In the language translation files message 'tooltip-t-specialpages' should be renamed 'tooltip-n-specialpages'
and 'accesskey-t-specialpages' should be renamed 'accesskey-n-specialpages'

I couldn't get the the accesskey to work for the Special pages on lb.wikipedia.org and after checking on en.wikipedia.org and de.wikipedia.org I noticed that it doesn't work there either. After asking on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Accesskey_for_Special_pages and https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Support#Accesskey_for_Special_pages, I learned that this phabricator ticket has already been filed and I assume that it would solve the problems I described.
