The Ossetic Wikipedia at http://os.wikipedia.org/ already exists, but MediaWiki won't recognize any interwiki links to it, using any of the following formats: * [[os:]] * [[os:Сæйраг фарс]] * [[:os:]] * [[:os:Сæйраг фарс|Ossetic language edition]] * [[:os:Сæйраг фарс]] * [[:os:Сæйраг фарс|Ossetic language edition]] I have tested this on w:en:, w:vi:, and m:.

Two lines of the description are shown below: > * [[:os:Сæйраг фарс|Ossetic language edition]] > * [[:os:Сæйраг фарс|Ossetic language edition]] Only 5 formats were tested, it seems.

Sorry, I meant to put [[:os:|Ossetic language edition]] as the last one. It still doesn't work, though.
There aren't many Ossetians, and there are fewer still who have access to the Internet. Yet the handful who do have pulled together and created a decent little Wikipedia. They've translated several English-language articles and tried to provied links to them in Ossetian, but they aren't working. The bug was reported a month ago, yet no progress has been made. This isn't a "normal" problem, it's pretty major. If I knew what to do, I'd fix it. But I can't. Someone who can should do so ASAP. It may be a small thing to most English speakers, but to the Ossetians it is probably a huge deal (are their article contributions even being recognized and ranked?).
Added. Purge cache of pages as needed.
(In reply to comment #6) > Added. Purge cache of pages as needed. I'm still seeing the problem over at Meta. The [[m:Wikimedia News]] page has several links to os:, and they all have to use the external link format, because the interwiki link is still broken. I have tried purging already. Reopening.
I see it's beeing fixed at the Meta now. Thanks to all who helped.
