Forum:Change sv: interwiki link
- I'm lazy so I'll just copy this message from another site.
Hi, I would be happy if you changed the interwiki to Swedish from http://psyklopedin.hehu.se/ (‘the old wiki’) to http://sv.uncyclomedia.org/ (‘the new wiki’). The reason? You want a reason? I'll give you a reason. Lots of n00bs are spamming the old wiki with one liners and crap, and the search feature and logo don't work. They make Sweden look like crap. And there are NO active admins there, making it worse. The newer one has all these features, with some extras too. Renaming. Configurating new namespaces, and other stuff. And there are active admins there (like me). I'd be happy if you changed the interwiki. Smiddle 16:04, 9 March 2007 (EST) 18:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Is it possible to redirect the old URL to the new one? Once the upgrade is done across Wikia, then we plan to add a system that will allow easier updates of interlanguage links (possibly we can use the existing system that uncyclomedia uses, possibly we will need one that fits Wikia better). Until then, changes will have to wait. I would suggest removing the sv. links if they are going to an out of date URL. -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 09:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, it's probably not possible. The bureaucrat and owner, Mange, left a long time ago. – 15:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

By the way, Desciclopédia and Onziclopedie have changed the link. – 17:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps it's not the owner of psyklopedin.hehu.se that you need to contact... you should be trying to contact the owner of the parent domain, hehu.se, as they would be the ones who control the name server for the domain. An individual subdomain could be pointed anywhere, if they were to choose to do so. --66.102.80.239 15:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- The owner of psyklopedin.hehu.se (Mange) is not contactable via the wiki. Therefore, I became a member of the hehu forums and sent a PM, asking where he went. He replied "Sorry, I've been away for a long time. I only sit in behind to pay so that the site exists anyway". – 08:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
By the way, Hikipedia has changed the link now as well. – 08:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Same deal with Unciklopédia. – 11:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
