Description TeleComNasSprVen 2014-02-16 06:10:40 UTC
Awaiting on the hiwiki community, for [[bugzilla:4676]]. This ticket is opened to target a specific namespace alias, and to keep the rest of the other namespace aliases untouched.
Comment 1 Gerrit Notification Bot 2014-02-16 06:13:07 UTC

Still under discussion, but here's the permalink to the comments so far:

Comment 4 Siddhartha Ghai 2014-02-17 08:54:23 UTC
Although I personally have no problem with this, I find this bug a little premature. This bug has been filed on the assumption that hi.wp is the only project using C: as a shortcut. http://tools.wmflabs.org/pirsquared/c.txt shows that this is not the case. Until there is a consensus across other projects using C: as a shortcut to use it as an interwiki alias for commons, any discussion on hi.wp about keeping/removing this alias would be futile.
Comment 5 This, that and the other (TTO) 2014-02-17 11:47:32 UTC
The discussion here is very fragmented, so not sure where this comment should be placed, but I will just say that the uses of C: on Commons are not a problem, as Commons does not require this interwiki to itself. "c:" can be renamed away using the same code path as for "s:" on Swedish Wikipedia.

The Hindi Wikipedia is the only wiki using it as a namespace alias, but other wikis do indeed have pages starting with "C:" (some are redirects to categories, some are articles, some are redirects to articles e.g. [[C:]]).
I agree that this requires more consensus.
Comment 7 Scott Martin (http://enwp.org/user:scott) 2014-02-25 22:12:38 UTC
Just a note that Mayur (an admin on the Hindi Wikipedia) indicated in c29 on bug 4676 that they have no problem with switching it off as a namespace alias.

Actually Mayur is a former admin and a retired user.
Comment 9 Scott Martin (http://enwp.org/user:scott) 2014-02-26 13:01:37 UTC
Sorry, I could have been a lot clearer. Mayur's recent comment was to reiterate one that he made in the original 2011 RfC on Meta, when he was still an admin and bureaucrat on hiwiki. I don't believe that their position has changed since then.
Comment 10 Scott Martin (http://enwp.org/user:scott) 2014-03-27 19:04:50 UTC
As an update for developers, the RfC has now concluded with a consensus for implementing the new Commons prefix, so could you please merge the patch for this.
