Description

As a user of the Wikidata Query Service, when I click on the interface links (such as Wikidata:SPARQL query service/Wikidata Query Help in the Help dropdown menu) I want to be able to access the pages in my wiki user language and not by default in English.

Problem:
Some of the menu entries on the Query Service UI do not make use of the MyLanguage special page. It is used to redirect users to the wiki page in their language.

We should change all links that lead to a wiki page to go through Special:MyLanguage.

Example:
Good example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:List_of_properties

Bad example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties

Notes

source code: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos/wikidata/query/gui

Acceptance criteria:

all menu entries (incl. top-level entries) that lead to a wiki page make use of Special:MyLanguage

Stalled until this is deployed and can be verified.

I think this can be verified now.

@amy_rc and I tested it on query.wikidata.org and there are still two links at least that seem to not be correct. They are in the "help" menu. It is the links to the examples and the licensing information.
