Bug #: 41960
Summary: news: URL protocol conflicts with News: namespace on
de.wikivoyage.org
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site configuration
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected],

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
German Wikivoyage uses a namespace called News: . This conflicts with the
news:// URL protocol, which is defined in $wgUrlProtocols by default and
enabled on all Wikimedia sites.
The quickest resolution is to disable this protocol for dewikivoyage. Without
doing so, many existing links are broken.
(It's been pointed out that this choice of namespace name is a bit odd since
"News" is not a German word. The English word is however commonly used in
German. Irrespective of the merits, there are lots of existing links to the
"News:" namespace.)
