--- Comment #33 from Tomasz W. Kozlowski <[email protected]> ---
Hi Oleg,
thanks for the comment and apologies for using such an enigmatic language—I
didn't realise it wasn't understandable.

$wgSitename is the MediaWiki variable that defines the name of the site; when
you go to https://ce.wikipedia.org, the title of the page (as seen in your
browser) is "Коьрта агlо — Википедийа"; my fix will change that into "Коьрта
агlо — Википеди". 

$wgMetaNamespace, on the other hand, is the variable that defines the name of
the project namespace; on English Wikipedia, for example, it is "Wikipedia" (as
in [[Wikipedia:Five pillars]]), and on your Wikipedia it's currently
"Википедийа" — and my patch will change that into "Википеди". As you see,
$wgSiteName and $wgMetaNamespace are similar most of the time, that's why I
think it'd be better to use the opportunity to change both.

As for the other namespaces (File:, Template:, and Category:), they are defined
by the MediaWiki software itself, and are not localised by us (Wikimedia
community) — this way, non-Wikimedia projects can benefit from our work.
Unfortunately, this approach — translating namespace names on Translatewiki.net
— means that all translations have to be deployed by Translatewiki staff, which
takes some time.

My Gerrit change #64501 will be visible on-line the moment it's approved and
merged into our git repository (you'll be able to link to the new Wikipedia
namespace using [[Википеди:XYZ]]), but the other changes will only follow in a
couple of days/weeks.
