             Bug #: 36033
           Summary: Interwiki language links to non-existent wikisources
                    should redirect to the multilingual wikisource
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Interwiki links
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


This issue has been confused with Bug 32189 and requires a separate bug.  The
use of a link to a wikisource language subdomain that does not exist should
redirect to the multilingual wikisource via missing.php
(http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/tools/web-scripts/missing.php?view=markup).

In the past new language subdomains have asked for direct interwiki links (see
eo.ws (Bug 17008) and be.ws (Bug 26124)).  Although creating aliases for
language subdomains in active incubation may be a good idea, this bug is
intended to deal with links created to valid languages irrespective of whether
works exist.

The point of this bug is so that, for example, on hi.wp [[s:Foo]] would link to
hi.wikisource.org/wiki/Foo which would redirect to wikisource.org/wiki/Foo and
on en.ws [[hi:Foo]] would create a sidebar link to the same page.  AND the same
would happen for any other valid language code without a subdomain regardless
of whether any works actually existed.
