Hello,
my bot checked ru:Домашних духов обманув, душа Цянь-нюй расстаётся с телом on ru-WP for interwiki links and found an invalid link to zh-WP and removed it. But this link is valid as you can see. Why does this happen?
Best regards, Euku -----

--- Comment #1 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- It has to do with the zh-traditional/zh-simplified distinction. In normal MediaWiki usage, both the simplified and the traditional orthography of Chinese work, but the bot uses [[Special:Export]], which only works for simplified Chinese.
If you change the link from [[zh:倩女离魂]] to [[zh:倩女離魂]], you still go to the same page, but the link will work for the bot as well.

--- Comment #2 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) legoktm.wikipedia@gmail.com --- Thanks. But there should be a general solution for this. Is it a MediaWiki bug or should the bot know about all distinctions made on WP-Projects?
