The English Wikinews recently discussed making WN: an alias for the Project: namespace (as the English Wikipedia has done for a while), and support was unanimous (see the discussion at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#WN_redirecting_to_Wikinews). Can this be done, please?
Done. The following pages could not be renamed automatically and got /BROKEN or /BROKEN2 appended to their name: ... 19321 (0,"Wn:") ... *** cannot resolve automatically; illegal title *** ... 117884 (0,"Wn:delete") -> (4,"Delete") [[Wikinews:Delete]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 107089 *** ... 19323 (0,"WN:") ... *** cannot resolve automatically; illegal title *** ... 18065 (0,"WN:A") -> (4,"A") [[Wikinews:A]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 13757 *** ... 54118 (0,"WN:AWB") -> (4,"AWB") [[Wikinews:AWB]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 54068 *** ... 23250 (0,"WN:BJAODN") -> (4,"BJAODN") [[Wikinews:BJAODN]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 2930 *** ... 88260 (0,"WN:Criteria_to_use_an_article_as_a_source_on_Wikipedia") -> (4,"Criteria_to_use_an_article_as_a_source_on_Wikipedia") [[Wikinews:Criteria to use an article as a source on Wikipedia]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 88241 *** ... 2960 (0,"WN:FAQ") -> (4,"FAQ") [[Wikinews:FAQ]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 2771 *** ... 68859 (0,"WN:IRC") -> (4,"IRC") [[Wikinews:IRC]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 96468 *** ... 23521 (0,"WN:NPOV") -> (4,"NPOV") [[Wikinews:NPOV]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 2314 *** ... 2753 (0,"WN:Newsroom") -> (4,"Newsroom") [[Wikinews:Newsroom]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 2725 *** ... 73783 (0,"WN:OTRS") -> (4,"OTRS") [[Wikinews:OTRS]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 72146 *** ... 100883 (0,"WN:Reference_desk") -> (4,"Reference_desk") [[Wikinews:Reference desk]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 1052 *** ... 131916 (0,"WN:Twitter") -> (4,"Twitter") [[Wikinews:Twitter]] ... *** cannot resolve automatically; page exists with ID 130358 ***
