--- Comment #8 from Nathan Larson <[email protected]> --- The change that Tim and Chad are talking about, of scrapping interwiki prefixes entirely, is even more radical (and therefore scarier). But if any change will be implemented, it seems to me that the least disruptive way of doing it is to make a change in the installer, because then one is not making a change to existing wikis. Of changes made to the installer, the least disruptive of those is to change the default option while still leaving the former default available. An alternative way to introduce change would be for someone to go to [[Project:Village pump (proposals)]] and say, "Hey guys, why don't we all start using Project: as the project namespace prefix instead of Wikipedia:? Once all uses of Wikipedia: have been replaced, it'll be easier to make a case for retiring Wikipedia: entirely as a namespace prefix. Think how that would benefit third-party wikis that want to import our content!" That proposal having been enthusiastically accepted and implemented, and similar proposals having been similarly enthusiastically accepted and implemented at other major wikis, it would be easier to make a case for changing the installer default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
