Hi Merlijn,
these updates are normaly made by /maintenance/update_namespaces.py bot script which calls
the namespace via api. I've modified that script to be able dealing with all namespace
aliases too. Anyway the order of ja: namespace and namespace alias has been changed and
there is a difference between ja-wiki (1) and other projects like ja-wikinews (2). This
caused me to change the family.py in r8236 as default (3) which has valid namespace
aliases for all related mediawiki families in the right order (<namespace> first,
<namespacealiases> behind in that list) and to override it in wikipedia_family (4).
I do recommend not to change the family.py but the related wikia family file. Otherwise
all mediawiki family files must have these override assignments you can find in
wikipedia_family.py now.
(1) look at
I hope this explanation was understandable.
Greetings

While jawiki seems to redirect the ''???????' variant to the
'??????'
variant.
Is there a reason not to change this back? And what are these updates based
on? Wikimedia source code?
Best regards,
