Description reza1615 2012-12-16 20:33:32 UTC
Hi,
Is it possible to add an alarm or popup that shows when user adds incorrect namespace interwiki to other namespace?
for example:
when he wants to add [[de:test]] to category:test page it tells him you should add [[de:category:test]]
note: it shouldn't show this alarm for who adds [[:de:test]]
Comment 1 Platonides 2012-12-16 20:37:19 UTC
It's not strange that what appears as [[Foo]] in one wiki, is at [[Annex:Foo]] in another one.

The main problem however, is that you would need to know the namespaces of the target wiki.
The English wiki would need to know that [[de:Kategorie:test]] is ok (category ns), but [[de:Kategoria:test]] is not (main ns).

As the interwikis are agnostic about the url structure of the target site, I am leaned to WONTFIX.
Comment 2 reza1615 2012-12-16 20:53:02 UTC
Finding target name space is not so difficult it could be done by API or the same tools
like
