Hoi,
First of all the hy.wikiPEDIA exists while the wiki that does not exist is
the WikiNEWS. This means that the same "Wiki does not exist" message is used
for all projects. In my opinion this is more grievous error in all this.
When you state that the string for the nds language is wrong. I would be
wondering what orthography of the nds language says so and also if this
spelling is not as correct.
Thanks,

You are of course right, refering to Wikipedia on a Wikinews "Wiki does
not exist" page is not very useful. That should be changed too!
Your second point: of course there is no "wrong" as in "1 + 1 = 3 is
wrong". Low Saxon has no commonly accepted orthography. But of course
spelling for English, Dutch or German has no "wrong" and "right" too.
Only "following the commonly accepted convention" and "not following the
commonly accepted convention". Platdüütsch is not wrong, but it does not
follow the most widely accepted spelling convention. Google for it: 12,1
Milllion for Plattdüütsch to 825 for Platdüütsch. I thinks that's obvious.
I guess, you were suspecting, there is a controversy behind it. No,
really, it's not controversal, it's really nothing than a spelling slip.
