interwiki prefix "hides" pages
Hi, what can we do about the five pages listed at la:Specialis:Prefixindex/Wikipedia whose name starts with Wikipedia: ? These pages reside in the main namespace (our NS_PROJECT is called Vicipaedia) and they are inaccessible due to the wikipedia: interwiki prefix. We seem to be unable to edit, delete or even inspect them. It seems that Special:Whatlinkshere does not show the correct results on these pages either.
I would be grateful if you could point me to any resource describing remedies for this problem.
The only solution that comes to my mind would be to
- temporarily disable the wikipedia: interwiki prefix on la.wikipedia (probably needs developer rights)
- move the offending pages somewhere else
- delete the resulting redirects (needs administrative rights)
- examine Special:Whatlinkshere for each of these pages to make sure no links point to Wikipedia:…
- re-enable the wikipedia: interwiki prefix.
Thanks in advance for any ideas! --la:Usor:UV 12:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Please contact a Wikimedia systems administrator for assistance. robchurch | talk 15:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer. I understand that by a Wikimedia systems administrator, you mean the same group of persons that is called “developer” on meta? I asked Brion for help (he is an admin on la.wikipedia). Thanks! --la:Usor:UV 16:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
