Hi. In this change: <r1=41703&r2=41702&pathrev=41703">http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/MessagesNl.php?r1=41703&r2=41702&pathrev=41703> the order of precedence was changed so that automatically created redirects (created by page moves e.g.) now get #DOORVERWIJZING instead of #REDIRECT. This created some problems with interwikibots (now solved). Reactions on the wiki were almost all opposing this change (<http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Overleg_gewenst&oldid=14506839#.23redirect_.2F_.23doorverwijzing>, <http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:De_kroeg&oldid=14510905#Onnodig.2C_overbodig.2C_onverkwikkelijk>, <http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:De_kroeg&oldid=14510905#Doorverwijzing>) Please change it back so #REDIRECT gets used as standard. Best regards, [[nl:User:Niels]]
Current redirect magic word localisation for nl/Dutch is as follows: 'redirect' => array( '0', '#DOORVERWIJZING', '#REDIRECT' ), The purpose of localisation is to make all aspects of software available in a language. It may take some getting used to for long time users, when something that had not been localised before, is localised. It is currently not possible to override magic words on a local level. Until that is possible, closing this as later.
Bots should retrieve the up-to-date list of magic words via http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Meta#siteinfo_.2F_si As of local changes, isn't it possible to create a dummy language nl-wikipedia that falls back to nl, but overrides some magic words? Anyway, since so much time has passed, newer discussions indicating community consensus are needed. Closing the bug.
