I am not sure if this is intended, but all the Wikipedia interwiki links are broken now. Two that I have in my sidebar are broken and showing red. There are a few on WantedPages
, but removing them from there can cause problems with navigation within wikiHow articles.
Why dont you change these Wikipedia internal links to an external link to the same Wikipedia article? Would serve the same purpose and bring readers to the same page and information!
I’d agree, the issue is that the bots seemed to have removed almost all of the red links. I was wondering though is there a rationale for the Wikipedia interwiki prefix to have been removed?

Interesting. I’m checking in to see if this is intentional or not. Thanks for reporting
Welp - it’s back! Thanks for looking into it! Now let’s see if any links were broken that need to be readded.

Yes! It was unintentional and fixed up, so should be good now (though I see that they’re sticking around on WantedPages for some reason!)
