Section "Other Projects of Wikimedia" uses a different anchor name then a normal wiki header
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

1.) "Other projects of Wikimedia" is unintuitive as a level two header description and should be changed from the passive to the active "Other Wikimedia projects".

2.) When linking to the section, one must use "mw-sitematrix-others" in front of the hash mark, like

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix#mw-sitematrix-others

but it should link normally to this section much like on other wiki pages when using "Other projects of Wikimedia" (or "Other Wikimedia projects") in front of the hash mark, which is easier to remember. We are used to regular wiki syntax.

3.) There should be a way to provide a default MediaWiki message like a new MediaWiki page called [[MediaWiki:SiteMatrix-section]] in order to localise or translate the section header description.

Going to close this; the other issues can be filed as separate bugs as necessary and they're more of styles/conventions issues with MediaWiki itself.
