With default, it doesn't +happen.. + +Also, this may only happen if the page being linked to is coming from an +underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language. +--[[Joey]] + +> Any simple testcase to reproduce it, please? I've never seen this +> happen yet. --[[intrigeri]] + +>> Sure, go here <http://l10n.ikiwiki.info/smiley/smileys/index.sv.html> +>> (Currently 0% translateed) and see the 'WikiLink' link at the bottom, +>> which goes to <http://l10n.ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki.cgi?page=ikiwiki/wikilink&from=smiley/smileys&do=create> +>> Compare with eg, the 100% translated Dansk version, where +>> the WikiLink link links to the English WikiLink page. --[[Joey]] + +>>> Seems not related to the page/string translation status: the 0% +>>> translated Spanish version has the correct link, just like the +>>> Dansk version => I'm changing the bug title accordingly. +>>> +>>> I tested forcing the sv html page to be rebuilt by translating a +>>> string in it, it did not fix the bug. I did the same for the +>>> Spanish page, it did not introduce the bug.

Going to dig deeper. --[[intrigeri]] + +>>>> After a few hours lost in the Perl debugger, I think I have found +>>>> the root cause of the problem: in l10n wiki's configured +>>>> `underlaydir`, the basewiki is present in every slave language +>>>> that is enabled for this wiki *but* Swedish.
