Please fix MediaWiki:All messages generator script as it links to wikipedia.org and not wiktionary.org.
Actually the script wasn't used to generate those pages, they were just copied from the associated wikipedias.
[about links from wikipedia to wiktionaries]
How am I supposed to link from hu.wikipedia to hu.wiktionary? I'd say [[wiktionary:word]] but it links to http://wiktionary.org/..word instead.
Additionally [[wiktionary:fi:kukkala]] should redirect to fi.wiktionary which it doesn't do yet.
All this is fixed now. The "Wiktionary:" prefix still links to the English Wiktionary, but a new "wikt:" prefix has been introduced which links laterally to the wiktionary of the same language. An extra feature has been added to MediaWiki allowing "diagonal" linking, with the help of redirects. A link reading [[wikt:fi:kukkala]] on the German Wikipedia will link to http://de.wiktionary.org/fi:Kukkala, which will redirect to http://fi.wiktionary.org/Kukkala .
Which language.php does it use? It should be updated as well.
It uses the same language as the associated Wikipedia
Which list shall I use for further questions?
It's probably more relevant to foundation-l.

While it works on some wiktionaries, it doesn't on pl.wiktionary.org
[[w:entry]] points to www.wikipedia.org (should be pl.wikipedia) [[de:entry]] points to de.wikipedia (should be de.wiktionary).
This was just a caching problem.
[[Wikipedia:de:entry]] does not work at all
Fixed as noted above.
Also, the updated lng file for the Polish Wiktionary was uploaded to http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/LanguageWiktionaryPL.php a month ago.
I'll look into that.

It works great; thank you.
However, I have a suggestion. Wiktionary interwikis always link to pages of the same name:
[[pl:Hund]] [[en:Hund]] [[da:Hund]] [[de:Hund]] [[ru:Hund]] etc
It's really redundant to type 'Hund' 150 times; perpahs we could solve this by simplifying these links to [[pl:]] [[en:]] [[de:]]. etc... (or whatever syntax) or even generating them automatically?

A SisterSites-style mechanism would be much better, where it automatically shows links to same-named pages that exist on the sister wikis without any need for explicitly adding the link.
Volunteers?

<obsolete> I am confused. does that language have now separate entries for wiktionary? (I guess it doesn't.) The same isn't usable since all "wikipedia" strings have to changed to the name of wiktionary, including namespace name, and many strings haver to be changed because they should link to wikipedia (like copyright, disclaimer, etc).
What is the suggested way to make these changes? </obsolete>
What is the suggested way to change the name of 'wikipedia:' namespace anyway?
[ We're in the middle of guessing a better name for hu.wiktionary since the english form is almost impossible to use in plain hungarian text environment ;) This probably would require a logo change, so I ask it beforehand: how to get that done then? ]

Yes, sir! :)

Hmm, seems to have a separate language file then. ;-) I'll check.
