Is interwiki link for "https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/" changed?

Is in OpenWrt DokuWiki config file (eg. conf/interwiki.local.conf) the interwiki link "hwinfo" changed from "https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/" to "http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/"?

I noticed on OpenWrt DokuWiki techdata page of Ubiquiti UniFi AP the "WikiDevi ID" link gave a page with "...There is currently no text in this page...".
When editing that Ubiquiti UniFi AP techdata page, the "WikiDevi ID" comment mentions "Enter only <yourdevice> from https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/<yourdevice>". Unfortunately that "WikiDevi ID" link does not result in a "https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/" link but opens a "http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/" page.

Also all "hwinfo" interwiki links are not using "https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/" anymore but "http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/".

Probably there is a logical cause/motivation for that OpenWrt DokuWiki interwiki link configuration change and I am looking forward for further help in this from somebody.

Thanks and all the best.

The wikidevi ID is meant as backup for situations where the original wikidevi.wi-cat.ru link is not available (which was the case at some time during the past 4 weeks). It is based on the assumption, that every descendant of the original wikidevi (wikidevi.wi-cat.ru is one of those) has the same link scheme as the original wikidevi.

In this case, the wikidevi link in the dataentry was working for wikidevi.wi-cat.ru due to a redirect, whereas techinfodepot didn't have this redirect.

I have now corrected the wikidevi link in the dataentry, resulting in working links for both wikidevi.wi-cat.ru and techinfodepot.

WikiDevi was replaced by DeviWiki -

wikidevi has been replaced by several descendants, not only deviwiki.

I don't keep track of the histories...

I use either DeviWiki (which has "ex WikiDevi" in it's title page) or TechInfoDepot.

I am a frequent contributor to https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ as can be seen by Contributions and most of the other wikis are just taking my entries from there! DeviWiki appears to have not any new entries since 2019.

wikidevi.wi-cat.ru is my reference as well sine wikidevi went defunct. And I can tell you from personal experience the site operator is picky about details (and details matter with embedded).

@tmomas, thanks for the quick response with info and action.

Now I notice during editing an OpenWrt DokuWiki page when pasting the url https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/, that url is automatically replaced by [[hwinfo_alternative2>]]. In preview such link is not working. I can solve it by typing the url instead of pasting it.

Thanks for letting me know, issue is fixed now.
