Why [[ku:Wikipedia:Sefaret]] is not the same as [[ku:Wîkîpediya:Sefaret]] ?

MediaWiki's namespace system allows each namespace to have exactly 2 names: a "localized" name, specific to the language in question, and a "canonical" name, which works on any wiki using the software, whatever language is selected. For most namespaces, the canonical name is the same as that on the English Wikipedia - "User:", "Talk:", etc.

But the "project" namespace ("Wikipedia:" on the English Wikipedia) has to vary depending not only on the language, but on the name of the project: "Wiktionary:", "Meta:", etc. Plus, we wouldn't want "Wikipedia:" being used in projects which had nothing to do with Wikipedia but used the same software. So the canonical name for that namespace is "Project:".

So, [[ku:Project:Sefaret]] should work correctly, and be interpretted as the same page as [[ku:Wîkîpediya:Sefaret]]
