Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-04-23 15:09:31 UTC 
Similar to bug 28675..

Can we do the same for special page aliases?

It seems just falling back on the en ones is the same thing here.. If the fallback chain goes deep enough...

Can you elaborate what you need? In PHP/API/something else?
Comment 2 Gustronico 2011-08-29 20:21:27 UTC 
As a non-English speaking user, I'll try to explain: When English speaking users go to a foreign language wiki, they don't need to know the local name of a particular special page: they just type the English=canonical name.

But, what about non-English speaking users visiting a foreign wiki? They only know (as aforementioned users also do) their own-language page names. So, how are they supposed to access the desired local special page? This functions, used in their own wikis as a previous step, may bring them those "unknown" canonicals.
