The core namespaces have a canonical names instead localized ones. For example for a Finnish wiki: <ns id="2" case="first-letter" subpages="" canonical="User" xml:space="preserve">Käyttäjä</ns> But Proofreadpage uses the localized string too as canonical: <ns id="250" case="first-letter" canonical="Sivu" xml:space="preserve">Sivu</ns> It should be instead: <ns id="250" case="first-letter" canonical="Page" xml:space="preserve">Sivu</ns>
See also bug 37483. This behavior were introduced in Gerrit change Iada3840561a68113985d778db731a3ef8af523e2.
I do not understand the process here, but It appears that no one is addressing this bug because no one is assigned to it.
Correct. This bug needs somebody to write a patch to fix it, and anybody can do so: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access
(In reply to comment #1) I don't think that this behaviour have been introduced in change Iada3840561a68113985d778db731a3ef8af523e2 . Before the change, the localized namespaces where added to $wgExtraNamespaces in the configuration file of the wiki and, if the wikis wants, the English namespaces was also added to $wgNamespaceAliases . So the localized names where also used as canonical. So, it's not a regression introduced by this change.
Fixed by change Ie0800246e7b995ec4f3e9d19b0f6705fb72afa1c that have been deployed on Wikisources today.
May this have connection to bug 41324 somehow?
