Yesterday "#yünältü", the local alias for "#REDIRECT", broke and it doesn't redirect pages anymore. I decided to replace all "#yünältü" with "#REDIRECT", using my bot, TimmingBot. After that replacement, number of articles on main page shrunk from about 8000 to 7000. Our wiki is very small and loss of 1000 articles is a severe downgrade. Would you please help us and explain what happened to the local redirects and to the number of articles? Thank you in advance
The alias was apparently removed from tt-cyrl in TranslateWiki, probably because it's a Latin alias, so I guess they thought it belonged in tt-latn instead. 1.16: 'redirect' => array( '0', '#yünältü', '#перенаправление', '#перенапр', '#REDIRECT' ), 1.17: 'redirect' => array( '0', '#ЮНӘЛТҮ', '#перенаправление', '#перенапр', '#REDIRECT' ),
I've live-hacked the code to put #yünältü back in.
Thank you. What about the article count? Why did it decrease?
(In reply to comment #3) > What about the article count? Why did it decrease? The pages with '#yünältü' are not detect as redirects by MediaWiki (due the software update). That is why there were broken and the edits from the bot are detect as a change from article ('#yünältü') to a redirect ('#REDIRECT') and MediaWiki decrease the article counter by 1 for each edit. The wiki needs a refresh of the article counter. I do not know, if that is possible.
(In reply to comment #4) Oh, thank you for explanation. What should we do to restore previous article count? It is very important for our community, because we lost ~13% of articles, participants are a little unhappy with that fact, we have a goal to complete 10 000 this year. Is there a way to count the articles (it wouldn't take much time, they are ~8000) in Tatar Wiki and update the counter? Thank you for your help
The article count issue is now tracked in bug 27705
Article count refreshed with bug 27705, it now show 9,396 articles. Thanks duplicatebug :) If the redirect issue is fixed we can probably find this bug report OR we might want to keep it to fix the live-hack added by Roan.

Are we keeping this open so we don't lose track of Roan's livehack? Or is there another reason?
The problem is solved. I think the bug can be closed. Great thanks to all participants.
no longer blocks, then.
Closing the ticket.
