Hoi, You have to allow for the way the pywikipedia bot works. There is a whole infrastructure around MediaWiki. and interpreting these things differently depending will create breakage. Depending on what software you use two double quotes and two two apostrophes are displayed in a different way. It is therefore important to keep things as they are in that language. It is imho much better to have language dependent behaviour.
Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, I definetly mean not only but also changing the rule for both titles and text. The suggestion of allowing for a per-wiki basis would currently break where Interwikis link to a project like the Neapolitan.
Depends on how it's implemented. If the rule was that links to " (double quotes) were treated as links to '' (two apostrophes), then nothing would be broken - other wikipedias should simply link to the version with two apostrophes. In practice, it's probably fairly easy to set up redirects for all articles with two apostrophes, much as on EN wikipedia, it's pretty common to set up redirects with and without accents like circumflexes for all foreign words.
