Interwiki links to other sites than Wikipedia
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: Aphaia

Description:
On meta or other sites,
[[:en:|English Wikipedia]] and [[en:|English Wikipedia]] work as a interwiki to
the main page of EN WP. Even [[en:]] is okay.
On the other hand, [[:en:wikt:|English Wiktionary]] nor [[:wikt:en:|English
Wiktionary]] doesn't work as the above. To point the Main Page of EN WS, we need
to type [[:en:wikt:Main Page]].

It is very annoying for me, specially I need to make a list of some projects.

Can anyone modify the rule of interwiki rule and can [[:en:wikt]] work as same
as [[:en]]?

I really don't understand this bug. What exactly are the cases here? What's missing? Why
aren't you including a page name in your links -- that appears to be likely to cause
problems?

a) [[:en:wikt]] is not usefull as it does not end with a colon. Neither is [[:en]].

b) please note that you can use [[wikt:]] and [[:wikt:]] on [[meta:]].

If this is what you want please change the bugs status.

c) Please note that [[wikt:en:]] and [[wikt:en:]] would not generate valid
links. You should use [[wikt:en:Main_Page]] and [[wikt:de:Main_Page]] (or
[[wikt:de:Hauptseite]]).

b) please note that you can use [[wikt:]] and [[:wikt:]] on [[meta:]].

Please note this is a workaround for WIKT:EN *only*.
For WIKT:FR you need to use [[wikt:fr:Main_Page|foo]] or [[wikt:fr:Page
d'accueil|bar]].

c) Please note that [[wikt:en:]] and [[wikt:en:]] would not generate valid
links. You should use [[wikt:en:Main_Page]] and [[wikt:de:Main_Page]] (or
[[wikt:de:Hauptseite]]).

A similar restriction is the subject of
bug 2406: links as [[wikipedia:de:]] will fail at non wikimedia foundation wiki

Closed by Brion as INVALID.
