Hoi,
You have to allow for the way the pywikipedia bot works. There is a
whole infrastructure around MediaWiki. and interpreting these things
differently depending will create breakage.
Depending on what software you use two double quotes and two two
apostrophes are displayed in a different way. It is therefore
important to keep things as they are in that language. It is imho much
better to have language dependent behaviour.
Thanks,

Hoi,
I definetly mean not only but also changing the rule for both titles
and text. The suggestion of allowing for a per-wiki basis would
currently break where Interwikis link to a project like the
Neapolitan.
Depends on how it's implemented. If the rule was that links to "
(double quotes) were treated as links to '' (two apostrophes), then
nothing would be broken - other wikipedias should simply link to the
version with two apostrophes. In practice, it's probably fairly easy
to set up redirects for all articles with two apostrophes, much as on
EN wikipedia, it's pretty common to set up redirects with and without
accents like circumflexes for all foreign words.
