incomplete urls in iwm?

Is there a reason that $1 is left off entries in the second part of the Interwiki map? As it is, interwiki links using those prefixes, e.g. Why:Worldview Risk Management, only link to the homepage. Easy enough to fix, but wanted to check first. Thanks. --Chriswaterguy · talk 13:49, 3 March 2007 (PST)

I'm not sure why none of them have $1 at the end. This list was taken directly from Meatball Wiki's [1] page. Sorry, I didn't realize that they didn't work. I remember questioning that myself, but just trusted the source and unfortunately didn't look into it. If you would like all of these to have $1 at the end, I'll fix that. -GoodSignal 23:11, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

I just experimented a little to find that some of them work just fine without the $1 and some don't.

MeatBall:WhyWikiWorks works without $1 following the pattern in the interwiki table http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WhyWikiWorks

EmacsWiki:Chord doesn't work even though the address http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?Chord works. But after creating a entry, EmacsWiki2 with $1

EmacsWiki2:Chord works.

We may want to just ditch this Other Interwiki Links list altogether. I probably found twenty dead sites before finding these two examples to work with. -GoodSignal 00:15, 27 April 2007 (PDT)

language links in the Wikimedia Foundation Links

I've noticed that we've imported the interlanguage linking from Wikipedia. E.g. [[:id:Teknologi tepat guna]] currently links to the Indonesian Wikipedia: id:Teknologi tepat guna.

The normal way things work is that language prefixes link to the relevant language in the same project, e.g. in Wikibooks, the id prefix links to the Indonesian Wikibooks.

Since we're hoping to support multiple languages, we should at least remove the Wikipedia interlanguage links from the Wikimedia Foundation Links. Then at least I can, for example, create pages starting with id: in order to clearly distinguish Indonesian pages, until such time as we create separate subdomains like Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionary etc. --Chriswaterguy · talk 17:32, 25 April 2007 (PDT)

I have taken the Wikimedia Foundation Links out of update script. Hopefully it works as desired now. We may need to manually enter some in the list that we happen to use. -GoodSignal 23:14, 26 April 2007 (PDT)

Thanks! --Chriswaterguy · talk 07:31, 29 April 2007 (PDT)

MediaWiki

mw: doesn't work, e.g. mw:Extension:RoboHelp2Wiki. --Chriswaterguy · talk 22:11, 25 April 2007 (PDT)

Works now. mw wasn't in the table. -GoodSignal 00:01, 27 April 2007 (PDT)

Missing [[W:

The [[W:Page]] is missing. [[Wikipedia:Page]] is still working. Examples: W:Page vs Wikipedia:Page. This affected {{Wikipedia p}}, so I replaced the links there to the full length interwiki link. Thank you, --Lonny 18:54, 27 April 2007 (PDT)

I'm not sure whether or not I like having "w:" in the table. "Wikipedia:" is much clearer to anyone reading the code, or looking at popup text over the link (maybe depending on the browser). --Chriswaterguy · talk 07:29, 29 April 2007 (PDT)
