About [[MediaWiki:Interwiki local 0 intro]] and [[MediaWiki:Interwiki local 1 intro]]

Directly in code, see FAQ.

  • The first change you propose is ok, though you may need to check if there's enough space to quote the error.
  • The second I think you misinterpreted: it's just bad English meaning "treated like links to local pages". From a practical perspective and from the original goal of the feature, i.e. a network of wikis which are interlinked like a single wiki, that's not so incorrect. Though of course there are differences, like the HTTP code returned (301 is not an error though) and the colour.

Can you submit a patch? :)

Ok, there's enough room for the message, since it's displayed on the legend at Special:Interwiki (collapsed)

About the second one, I still think that the clarification is misleading, suggesting that you'll see the foreign wiki content on the local wiki (domain, URL, etc), but that's OK. Will submit the patch when I have time.
