Description:
Hallo!

I realized that there are some troubles with titles as [[MediaWiki:Bar/foo]] /
[[MediaWiki_talk:Bar/foo]] in a wiki with content language foo.

I assume that handling these message consistently with {{int:}} would complicate
things.

{{msg:}} and {{msgnw:}} would still handle them as normal pages but the result
might differ from what {{int:}} would provide.

The fallback chain for int is <s>complicated</s> complex enough. The existence
of such pages might lead to unexpected results / pages with changed content as
soon as variants as
[[MediaWiki:Bar]], [[MediaWiki:bar]] (starting with a lower case letter) etc.
would be deleted. These are quite complex scenarios and difficult to follow.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

than add counterintuitive behaviour to hack around it.

I don't see a reason to start forbidding any valid titles.
