Hey guys and first of all thanks for the great work on MediaWiki, i
would like to request of you three things that need to be done on the
Icelandic wikipedia regarding technical issues to bring it up to par
with the larger wikipedias.
1. Insert the LanguageIs.php
Thanks a lot for previous help on this file, it's already in CVS and
ready to roll;=)
2. Post-LanguageIs.php insertation
After namespaces have been translated to Icelandic we'll have a lot of
broken wikilinks, [[Category:foo]] instead of [[Flokkur:foo]] and so
on, i understand that instead of falling over gracefully the system
will break due to this, so it would like to request that a bot be run
which replaces English namespace text inn all wikitext to the
Icelandic equivalents.
Timwi previously pointed out to me that i could use some Perl scripts
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Useless_Perl_Scripts ) to do this
myself, however i would prefer not to as i don't have experience with
those and it could lead to some undesired consequences.
3. Make Wikilinks work correctly,
Currently, if i write wikilinks on is. they will not behave in the
correct way, [[a]]b will only make a href="" for a but not b, see
http://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandkassinn for a demo of this,
could all letters listed in the Icelandic alphabet at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_alphabet be put in some sort of
list for allowed characters to expand on?
