There are multiple issues with linking the German Wikipedia's "afrikanische Pflaume" to the French Wikipedia's "safou":
1) A tree can only interwikilink to a tree or combined article on the tree + fruit and a fruit can only interwikilink to a fruit or a combined article on the tree + fruit (this is the "single vs. multiple concepts" problem Gerard refers to) 2) There is no way of making an interwikilink for a redirect, and the German Wikipedia's "afrikanische Pflaume" is currently a redirect to "Prunus" On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 4:59 PM, rupert THURNER <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Oct 13, 2014 2:07 PM, "Daniel Kinzler" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > Am 12.10.2014 17:02, schrieb Romaine Wiki: > > > Hello Lydia, > > > > > > This is a different problem from the other issue I described in an > other mail. > > > I notice two different problems that occur with the same version.
