[Mediawiki-l] Problem with interwiki links and custom namespace

[Hugh Prior]

Since they both use the same syntax, you would be correct that if you have a 
custom namespace the same as an interlanguage link, then you are right that 
they would clash.  Logically, the only possible solution is to NOT have any 
overlap.  So, if you MUST have "IT" as a namespace then you will have to use 
a different prefix for the language.

It doesn't really help, but it does perhaps at least confirm that your logic 
is correct, and your solution is probably as good as any.
