Hello,

my bot checked ru: , - 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 -----

Message: 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?

Message: 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:]] to [[zh:]], you still go to the same page, but the link will work for the bot as well.
