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]]
