So, there actually was a breton wikipedia started?
The topic arised here:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Le_Bistro#Langue_bretonne_pas_d…
Could I tell (or better, maybe you can write it) that the
br.wikipedia.org is not "currently inexistent" but "currently not
restored from backup"?
PS: it would be nice if the internal wiki tags could use title
anchoring, eg having
[[Wikipédia:Le Bistro#Langue bretonne pas disponible?]]
currently it doesn't work, you have to manually encode the escaped
codes, eg ".3F" instead of "?".
For latin languages it gets ugly and cumbersome, but for non latin ones
it is much worst: it is simply useless.
While I'm at it, the html anchors should exclude non visible text,
look at
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_in_other_languages
for examples; titles are like:
== [
http://az.wikipedia.org/ Azeri (az)] ==
it should be possible to link to it with simply
[[Wikipedia in other languages#Azeri (az)]]
insted of currently including the "http://az.wikipedia.org/" part
(in fact it is even uglier, as escaped chars have to be told in
their escaped form, so it comes as:
[[Wikipedia in other languages#Azeri .28az.29 .28http:.2F.2Faz.wikipedia.org.2F.29]]
can we seriously expect people to type *that*?
While I'm still at it, is still the same, non breakign space ( in
HTML, or 0x00a0 in unicode) should be treated in links the same as a
normal space (that is, produce a "_" for the url);
eg, both [[foo !]], [[foo !]] and [[foo !]] (that last using the
numeric value) should produce the same string "foo_!" in the url.
Thanks
