ang wikiprojects: aliases for wynn and C variants of namespace names
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In order to make everything truly seamless in regards to the equivalence of C <-> K (really only essential for things that include "wiki") and Ƿ <-> W, it is essential that we have aliases for wynn and C variants of the namespace names.

Therefore, I request that the following aliases be added:

-> Wikipǣdia:
Wicipǣdia
Wicipædia
Wicipaedia
Ƿikipǣdia
Ƿikipædia
Ƿikipaedia
Ƿicipǣdia
Ƿicipædia
Ƿicipaedia

... and all those + "mōtung"/"motung" for -> Wikipǣdiamōtung

-> Wikiwordbōc:

Wiciwordbōc
Wiciwordboc
Ƿikiƿordbōc
Ƿikiƿordboc
Ƿiciƿordbōc
Ƿiciƿordboc

... and all those + "mōtung"/"motung" for -> Wikiwordbōcmōtung

I hope this isn't too excessive...

Thanks.

Is there community consensus for this change? I know the community is small on Old English projects, but it would be good to see that there is no disagreement at the very least.

Could you please provide a complete list of these, just so we know exactly what to add?

OK, I started a discussion here: https://ang.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C5%8Dtung:H%C4%93afodtramet#Wynn.2FW.2C_Wiki.2FWici.2C_and_.2Am.C5.8Dtung.2F.2Amotung_Equivalence_in_Namespace_Names

Sure. Sorry for not being so specific.

-> Wikipǣdiamōtung:

Wicipǣdiamōtung
Wicipædiamotung
Wicipaediamotung
Ƿikipǣdiamōtung
Ƿikipædiamotung
Ƿikipaediamotung
Ƿicipǣdiamōtung
Ƿicipædiamotung
Ƿicipaediamotung

Wiciwordbōcmōtung
Wiciwordbocmotung
Ƿikiƿordbōcmōtung
Ƿikiƿordbocmotung
Ƿiciƿordbōcmōtung
Ƿiciƿordbocmtung

Ƿiciƿordbocmtung

I'm sorry. This is supposed to be "Ƿiciƿordbocmotung".

What about Wikipaedia, Wikipædia? The former alias is already implemented, but the latter isn't yet.

... and all those + "mōtung"/"motung" for -> Wikipǣdiamōtung

-> Wikiwordbōc:

Wiciwordbōc
Wiciwordboc
Ƿikiƿordbōc
Ƿikiƿordboc
Ƿiciƿordbōc
Ƿiciƿordboc

Wikiwordboc is already implemented, so this list is complete.

... and all those + "mōtung"/"motung" for -> Wikiwordbōcmōtung

I hope this isn't too excessive...

It's gonna be a mess to implement, but I understand the reasoning and agree. ;)

Thanks.

Yeah, if the latter isn't implemented, please implement it.

For some reason Wikipædiamotung is already an alias, but Wikipædia isn't.

That's hell of a lot of aliases to add if you ask me.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to add them, but adding an alias for every single possible spelling of a project's name seems… a bit excessive.

Just so we're all on the same page (and so that this comment can be considered constructive :-), can someone please list all the aliases you'd like to have added? Thanks :-)
