Hallo!

If analysing
Bug 5422: Change interface file for new Romani Wikipedia (rmy)
you may see that [[meta:LanguageRmy.php]] contains 80% - 95% messages from
MessagesRo.php.

[[meta:LanguageRmy.php/sandbox]] contains the messages (translated so far) which
should be part of MessagesRmy.php.

If a
require_once 'LanguageRo.php';
would be included in
LanguageRmy.php (together with the other required dependency statements)
and at some point in time {{ns:user}} would differ in LanguageRmy.php from
LanguageRo.php
messages as

'alreadyrolled' => "Nu se poate reveni peste ultima editare a [[$1]]
făcută de către [[Utilizator:$2|$2]] ([[Discuţie utilizator:$2|Discuţie]]);
altcineva a editat articolul sau a revenit deja.

Ultima editare a fost făcută de către [[Utilizator:$3|$3]] ([[Discuţie
utilizator:$3|Discuţie]])."

would fail in http://rmy.wikipedia.org/ .

This was just an example, this is why making a
*more general request*

At least for MessagesXx.php files included in other language files all
"localized" references to namespaces should be replaced with generic ones.
For readability the {{ns:foo}} (as {{ns:user}}) should be prefered over
{{ns:number}} (as {{ns:2}}).

Such usage would not harm in the "other" MessagesXx.php files either.
