Description:
Could the interwiki prefix [[mediawikiwiki: be added to mediawiki.org?

I'd like to add this prefix to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents for exportation into fresh MediaWiki installations that don't have [[mw: defined.

I'd recommend against relying on any interwiki prefixes being present if you're trying to write portable pages...

All right, it does make sense. Therefore this is resolved as WONTFIX status; feel free to change this resolution.

Reopening. Right now, we're using ParserFunctions on [[mw:Template:mediawiki]]; this is worse than an interwiki link in terms of portability, especially given that mediawikiwiki is included in MediaWiki 1.10+.

If this gets added to the [[meta:Interwiki map]], it will get fixed the next time the map is generated.

So mediawikiwiki is in MediaWiki core as of 1.10 and on most WMF wikis as well, but not on MW.org
