Description Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-10-01 17:52:54 UTC
Links to mediawiki.org in messages should be consistent: full https://www.mediawiki.org, proto-relative //www.mediawiki.org, or interwiki mediawikiwiki:. Both of the first two are in use now in various messages, the third will be once I8cefafbc is merged.

We should settle on one and use it everywhere; personally I'm inclined towards the interwiki version, which according to bug 43591 comment 3 works since 2007, is easier to migrate to per bug 43591, and in general just seems neater.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2013-10-01 18:16:34 UTC
Don't use interwiki prefixes in general MediaWiki UI messages; you should not assume any of them will be present or working.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2013-10-01 18:18:57 UTC
I recommend using only https: links please.
Comment 3 Nemo 2013-10-01 18:21:08 UTC
Thanks Brion, it seems we can change the summary to reflect the recommendation?
By the way, this is a core bug, but some extensions use interwikis; for instance I think CentralAuth links to Meta in some places (and with the wrong prefix even, meta: instead of m:).
Comment 4 Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-10-01 19:20:20 UTC
(There are more comments with rationale on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/83220/. The patch has been amended to use a https:// link.)
Comment 5 MZMcBride 2013-10-02 03:42:02 UTC
Can this bug be marked with the "easy" keyword?
Comment 6 Nemo 2013-10-03 10:34:46 UTC

> Can this bug be marked with the "easy" keyword?

After the summary settles on a way forward, perhaps. It's not always that trivial to convert wikilinks to external links.
Comment 7 Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-10-12 20:06:42 UTC
Let's settle the summary, then.
