Description Micki 2012-05-02 11:41:10 UTC
Is it possible that Vikipedija:Something redirects to Википедија:Something? "Vikipedija" and "Википедија" are the same words in Serbian, the first one in Latin and the second one in Cyrillic. Currently, if we have a page Википедија:Something, Vikipedija:Something is a red link. Of course we can make the redirects, but that's not the point.
Comment 1 Snowolf 2012-05-03 02:38:24 UTC
Seems a sensible proposal. Do all the other namespaces have similar aliases in place?
Comment 2 Snowolf 2012-05-03 02:39:14 UTC
Also, is there some discussion you can point the devs to?
Comment 3 Micki 2012-05-03 06:50:17 UTC
We have talked about this on our Village Pump: https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0:%D0%A2%D1%80%D0%B3/%D0%A2%D0%B5%D1%85%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0#Pismo_u_imenskom_prostoru_Vikipedija  If you think that's necessary, I can start a longer discussion. It seems that most of the Latin aliases actually work. See the bottom of this page: https://sr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Micki/%D0%A2%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82&oldid=5503787

It doesn't work:

* Vikipedija --> Википедија (ns:4)
* Razgovor o Vikipediji --> Разговор о Википедији (ns:5)
* Datoteka --> Датотека (ns:6), although there is no problem with another Latin alias: Slika --> Датотека
* Razgovor o datoteci --> Разговор о датотеци (ns:7)

Adding Sam, who handles these, so he can get more info if he needs to.
Comment 5 Sam Reed (reedy) 2012-05-10 19:03:20 UTC
Done
Comment 6 Micki 2012-05-10 19:19:42 UTC
