Gerrit change 32763

Copying Erik's comment from patch review:

I suggest we

make the primary namespace name "Nachrichten" / "Nachrichten_Diskussion"
add an alias "News" / "News_Diskussion"
disable url protocol handler for news: til x date

that way we create a grace period for using the old namespace name in links, and can give them a time window to update links.

Does anyone really even use news: urls directly now a days? How many people would actually even have a program installed and setup that could handle such a url? I'd suggest doing Erik's plan, but just disabling news: urls permanently on that project instead of temporarily.

<Krenair> SELECT el_to, page_title FROM externallinks JOIN page ON el_from=page_id WHERE el_to LIKE 'news:%';
<legoktm> | news:de.rec.fahrrad | Lounge/Archiv_2012-11-30 |
<legoktm> | news:foo | Lounge/Archiv_2012-11-30 |
<legoktm> thats ns 4

That's https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Lounge/Archiv_2012-11-30
In other words, no, not really.
