Hi, what can we do about the five pages listed at la:Specialis:Prefixindex/Wikipedia whose name starts with Wikipedia: ? These pages reside in the main namespace (our NS_PROJECT is called Vicipaedia) and they are inaccessible due to the wikipedia: interwiki prefix. We seem to be unable to edit, delete or even inspect them. It seems that Special:Whatlinkshere does not show the correct results on these pages either.

I would be grateful if you could point me to any resource describing remedies for this problem.

The only solution that comes to my mind would be to

  1. temporarily disable the wikipedia: interwiki prefix on la.wikipedia (probably needs developer rights)
  2. move the offending pages somewhere else
  3. delete the resulting redirects (needs administrative rights)
  4. examine Special:Whatlinkshere for each of these pages to make sure no links point to Wikipedia:…
  5. re-enable the wikipedia: interwiki prefix.

Thanks in advance for any ideas! --la:Usor:UV 12:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
