Summary: interwiki links
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Interwiki links
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: archaeopterix_solnho...@yahoo.fr
I have noticed that the interwiki links--the links that appear on every
Wikipedia page in the left-handed box called "languages", below the "toolbox",
and which lead the reader to the corresponding article in other languages--has
the names of the languages ordered in alphabetical order, with the language
name given in the language it represents. For instance, the articles in German
are indicated by the word "Deutsch", set at the level "D" in the sequence of
interwiki links, or the word "Farsi" is at the level "F", although that
language does not uses the Latin alphabet.
This works very well, except the name of the Finnish language is "Suomi" in
Finnish, and, well, Finnish in English. It consistently appears at the "F"
level of the sequence in ALL Wikipedias except the English one. My guess is
that the robots arrange and rearrange the name of this language according to
its English name, any time a new language is introduced. I usually use the
Romanian Wiki, but I have noticed that this is the case in the French, German,
Hungarian, etc ones, all Wikipedias except of the English one.
I wonder if the robots for all the non-English Wikipedia could accommodate
the Finnish name of the Finnish (Suomi), by setting it to the correct place in
the sequence of the respective box. It might be that a simple code change would
do the correction.
Thank you.
