have an articles to all the relevant links in Tumbuka (not within a short
time, anyway) hence the references to the English relevant entries. What
could be causing that, someone deliberately changing them or does the system
change links automatically to the form [[ITEM A B C etc]]?

Hoi,
Indeed someone has changed all these references. I had changed just one
(the first) to have it refer to the en:wikipedia using the standard
syntax ([[:en:word|word]] where word is the name of the article). This
syntax has a better performance than the
[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITEM A B C etc] syntax.
I do agree that you want to slowly change the articles to the chiTumbuka
language. At this moment you have it the hardest, there are so few
articles that it is hard to imagine how beautifull the tum:wikipedia
will become :)
I will ask this person to not make any changes on the tum:wikipedia (I
know the man).
Thanks,
Gerard
