:The recent [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-May/000039.html expansion of wiktionary to all 162 languages] points out yet another problem. When a service forks into multiple services, old links to <nowiki>[[en:]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[fr:]]</nowiki> and other languages do not refer to the alternate language of that same service, but to "English Wikipedia" and "French Wikipedia". That's because en: and fr: do not mean "that language" but a specific service in that language. This is wrong, and just proves the need for the standard and order <nowiki>[[language:service:subspace:name]]</nowiki>. | :The recent [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-May/000039.html expansion of wiktionary to all 162 languages] points out yet another problem.
