All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXI

[Bob Schroeck]

Changing gears because Lulzkiller brought up an issue with interwiki links and our own internal links:

For example, this for the C (anime), using its formal title:

In ''[[C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control]]'', Mikuni has enough money to single-handedly shoulder Japan's national

Due to how interwiki links work, anything belonging to "C:" as the beginning of a link is determined to be a link to Wikimedia Commons. We would need to edit the interwiki link table to fix this issue. I propose we use the longer but much less likely to be an issue "commons:" interwiki link instead to sidestep the problem.

Note: Mentioning this here because any attempt to change these links without doing the above fix will just redirect to Commons and may cause issues with Commons if we accidentally save changes there.

Didn't we already take care of this a couple of years ago?

I don't think so.  I remember it coming up, but I don't remember any fix being made.  I second the expansion of c: to commons:.
