https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26837 --- Comment #3 from Chris Scott cwscott...@gmail.com 2011-01-21 13:11:36 UTC --- The page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map states: Remember to specify why the prefix would be useful on a significant number of pages on Wikimedia Foundation projects. Why is this prefix considered 'useful'? It is not clear why such a 'significant' prefix is allocated to a company whose site does nothing when the prefix is used. Surely it would be reasonable, as a condition for the granting of a prefix, to require that the site to which the prefix points ALWAYS provides a meaningful message when it is (probably inadvertently) used, and when there is no other meaningful content to return. The message could be something like: You have activated a Wikimedia prefix for a site which has nothing useful to return for your search request.

It is not clear why such a 'significant' prefix is allocated to a company whose site does nothing when the prefix is used. It's a really really old prefix. That wiki it links to is Ward Cunningham's wiki. If we created it now, we probably wouldn't use that prefix, you're right. But changing the prefix now would probably break a lot of links. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
