Description Umherirrender 2011-02-03 20:42:18 UTC The confirm email of the release-de wiki send e-mail with english special pagename but german text, when creating an account. http://prototype.wikimedia.org/release-de/Special:ConfirmEmail/* http://prototype.wikimedia.org/release-de/Special:Invalidateemail/* A click on the first link redirects to the localized special pagename: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/release-de/Spezial:E-Mail_bestaetigen/* I have not tested this on 1.16wmf. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2011-02-04 03:43:42 UTC This is intentional, to keep the links shorter and ASCII-friendly. Localized names, especially for non-latin scripts, can be veeerrrryyyyyyyyyyy long and cause breaking over lines etc.
