Bug #: 28648
Summary: New 404 error should link to the local Wikipedia
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: douglas.gard...@wikinewsie.org
Classification: Unclassified
The new Wikimedia 404 message currently contains the text "read more
information about this type of error", with 'more information' linking to the
English Wikipedia article on 404 errors, regardless of the current subdomain.
As redirects are cheap, and "HTTP 404" is a rather language-independent phrase,
I propose that the link goes to whichever Wikipedia is associated with the
current subdomain, if only to dispel the "English Wikipedia is the only wiki
that matters" myth that it currently implies.
