A few weeks ago, I requested a new namespace on w:rm with T396551. It was completed successfully as requested (thanks!)
It appears that this request (from the discussion on w:mr) asked for the wrong spelling of the namespace as मसूदा.
The correct spelling is मसुदा.
Can this be changed?
Thanks

What a prompt response, I was going to ask if you want me to revise "मसूदा_चर्चा" to "मसुदा_चर्चा" as well, but submitted accidentally.

@abhaynatu Please kindly check again in above link, just click the two .php files and confirm if the spelling coloured green is good.

@abhaynatu Spelling is now revised, but the internal links using [[मसूदा:xxx]] are void now and should be replaced to [[मसुदा:xxx]] manually (or by bot), you have to tell your community update them.

@Hamishcn https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:NamespaceDupes.php would take care of it and should have run after sync
No, that's not what it's about. The old spelling should have been added as a namespace alias if the community cares.
The part of this in scope of Phabricator was done ages ago. The rest is up to the community.
Closing this task so it doesn't languish forever,
