Description Michael Moroni 2010-08-02 08:58:55 UTC
Hi you all, in Esperanto Wikipedia namespace number 2 (User:) is named "Vikipediisto" (Wikipedian). This problem influences also non-Wikipedia project, using MediaWiki: for example, in ScoutWiki (http://eo.scoutwiki.org), namespace 2 is named "Vikipediisto", that's not correct.
So, we'd like to rename namespace 2 from "Vikipediisto" to "Uzanto" (User) but keeping versions for every project:
* "Vikipediisto" in Wikipedia should redirect to "Uzanto",
* "Vikifontaristo" in Wikisource should redirect to "Uzanto",
* "Vikicitaristo" in Wikiquote should redirect to "Uzanto",
* "Vikivortaristo" in Wiktionary should redirect to "Uzanto",
* "Vikilibristo" in Wikibooks should redirect to "Uzanto",
* "Vikiversitatisto" in Wikiversity should redirect to "Uzanto",
* "Vikinovaĵisto" in Wikinews should redirect to "Uzanto",
Some project already uses "Uzanto" as namespace and some projects don't exist yet.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for this report.

I will change "Vikipediisto" -> "Uzanto" for MediaWiki core and keep an alias for backwards compatability.

1. What should be the canonical name for 'Vikipediista_diskuto'?

2. "Vikifontaristo", "Vikicitaristo", "Vikilibristo", "Vikiversitatisto",  "Vikinovaĵisto" do not exist right now?
Comment 2 Michael Moroni 2010-08-02 10:13:18 UTC
Firstly, thank you!
Then:
1. Argh, I forgot to write it (thank you again :P): "Vikipediista diskuto", "Vikifontarista diskuto", "Vikicitarista diskuto", "Vikivortarista diskuto", "Vikilibrista diskuto", "Vikiversitatista diskuto", "Vikinovaĵista diskuto" (logically in each project) should be redirect to "Uzanta diskuto".
2. I didn't check all them before:
      * In Wikipedia, there is only "Vikipediisto" and not "Uzanto"
      * In Wikiquote, there is only "Vikipediisto" and not "Uzanto" nor "Vikicitaristo"
      * In Wikibooks, there is only "Vikipediisto" and not "Uzanto" nor "Vikilibristo"
      * In Wiktionary, there is already "Uzanto", "Vikipediisto" is a namespace redirect and "Vikivortaristo" doesn't exist.
      * We don't have neither Wikisource nor Wikiversity nor Wikinews, yet (source is going to be opened)
I hope I wrote all needed information. If not, please tell me! :)
Thank you, 
- Michael
Comment 3 Raimond Spekking 2010-08-02 19:11:14 UTC
New generic namespace translations "Uzantoa"/"Uzanta diskuto" added with r70350.
Old translations "Vikipediisto"/"Vikipediista_diskuto" kept for b/c.

These changes will go live with the next software synchronisation. This can take a few weeks/months.

New aliases for Wikimedia projects need a new bug:

Product: Wikimedia
Component: Site requests
Keyword: shell

Please refer to this (now fixed) bug.

I hope you typed correctly the word "Uzanto" because you wrote "Uzantoa" :D

I was silly trying to see if it worked -.-

Is it so necessary (lazy mode=on)? :D

I wrote again when it will go live, correctly or not.
Thank you again,

Yes, only a typo here. Click on r70350 to check it :)
