Hi,
To link to e.g. http://nap.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Comune_d%27%27a_pruvincia_%27e_Avell... from another Wikipedia is a problem since the double quotes inside an interwiki link are interpreted the same way as in text. Can this be helped?
Regards, Quistnix

Yep, same way as for categories on the nap Wikipedia in general:
[[nap:Categoria:Comune d''a pruvincia 'e Avellino]]
I tested this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stevage/sandbox

I see. It seems that there are several ways to link to it, but using the direct approach (just typing in the quotes) doesn't work. That was the thing I was referring to.

Yes. That's actually a bit of a problem, as it's not just a question of "tell all the nap wikipedia users to use ". Now if anyone wants to link to nap from any other wikipedia, they need to know about that.
Or does this only apply to categories? Either way, not ideal...

This problem has been discussed before.
Some example solutions are shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Phil_Boswell/Sandbox/Double_apostrophe
The first solution, proposed elsewhere on this thread, is by far the simplest; unfortunately it is subject to disruption by well-intentioned bots and users who convert the numeric entity to the appropriate character.
My personal favourite is the "Unicode double-apostrophe" which could easily be added to [[nap:MediaWiki:Edittools]] and requires no more than an appropriate font specification to make it properly visible, which could possibly be arranged for the entire wiki?

Except of course that a double apostrophe is semantically quite different to two single apostrophes and that even specifying appropriate fonts does not ensure that users have appropriate fonts installed.
