Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/feature-requests/207/ Reported by: tx1k1 Created on: 2009-06-23 07:27:23 Subject: Warning for cross-namespace interwiki links Original description: When working with interwiki.py, a warning is given if a page links to a different namespace. E.g.:
WARNING: [[gl:Categoría:Música irlandesa]] is in namespace 14, but [[en:Music of Ireland]] is in namespace 0. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]dd an alternative, [g]ive up)
In these cases, an additional option should be added, something like: "[t]ry for the same title in source's namespace".
In consequence, interwiki.py would continue working with the correct links with [[en:Category:Music of Ireland]], without retyping it again.
