Should be included in the tech news. As description says, this was approved in
(which was already advertised through a mass message).
IMO, this can go to "recent changes" section. I plan to deploy it next week.

Re: Tech News entry -
Content: What description would be good & accurate for this entry? I imagine something like:
There are now default short aliases for the "Project:" namespace on most wikis. E.g. On Wikibooks wikis,
[[WB:]]
will go to the local language default for the
[[Project:]]
namespace. This change is intended to help the smaller communities have easy access to this feature. Additional local aliases can still be requested via [[Requesting wiki configuration changes | the usual process]].
Link: Where can/should the entry link to? Is there a meta-wiki translatable documentation page which includes these changes? E.g. perhaps it should be included in
(or somewhere better)
Section: When exactly will be it live? We generally only put things which are already live (on Monday, when it is delivered) into the "Recent changes" section. If it will be later in the week, then it can go in the "Changes this week" section.

LGTM (except the link should likely always go to meta :)).
Link: Where can/should the entry link to? Is there a meta-wiki translatable documentation page which includes these changes? E.g. perhaps it should be included in

AFAIK, this was only discussed at
. I' don't think it is currently documented anywhere. The help page you linked sounds like a good place. I can add it there once I deploy the change.
Section: When exactly will be it live? We generally only put things which are already live (on Monday, when it is delivered) into the "Recent changes" section. If it will be later in the week, then it can go in the "Changes this week" section.
I just set a reminder to do this next week. Can we add it to
, "recent changes"?

Hi, viwiki have
hundreds of WP: pages
and since
WP:
s are now redirected to
Wikipedia:
s, we cannot even access those pages. Red links have started appearing in sysmessages as some
Wikipedia:
s have never been created. Will MediaWiki move them automatically, and if so, how long would it take? What would it do if
WP:Foo
and
Wikipedia:Foo
both exist?

I have the same complaint: since you implemented this without any advance notice (shame on you for that) we expect you to fix all the red links you created. Thank you.

Update: The number of
WP:
pages have (somehow) decreased, but about
80 of them
are still there, in which 18 lead to nowhere, and some other got stuck because
Wikipedia:
ones were created beforehand.
Addendum: Newly created
Wikipedia:
pages don't show up at Special:NewPages but
do
appear on RecentChanges.
Addendum 2:
These
Thảo luận:WP:
s also need to be moved.

Please provide the protocols of the maintenance run. There seems to be conflicts with existing pages according to
T297395
, which needs a run with
add-suffix
or
add-prefix
to be fixed
conflicts with

Note full protocols of the scripts executed have several GBs. I'm not willing to publish them all, since I can never be reasonably sure there's nothing private in them.

I do not expect that much data. Than it is okay to not provide it. But maybe some fixes needs to be done. Maybe a fresh dry-run is smaller and only shows the open cases.
