Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: interwiki Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 4 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: xqt (xqt) Summary: Treat code-only interwikis as valid for main page

Initial Comment: Interwiki in the form of [[en:]] links to the main page.

It is easy to generate (on Toolserver or from SiteMatrix) a list of interwikis in this form for the main page and they are correct links.

So the bot must not remove them nor change them.

Suggesting the following process: 1) Pull MediaWiki:Mainpage and store it in some variable. 2) When dealing with interwiki, first compare, if the page title == that variable. 3) If yes, simply put short interwikis there (or at least do not remove nor correct them to long)

Message: Is this useful? Most mainpages are protected aren't they? Why don't we just have the bot ignore/skip mainpages altogether?
