Description

If you write a interwiki link like this OtherWiki:TestPage and OtherWiki is not in the interwiki list, this bad interwiki link is not recognized by Moin, far more: the link is not recognized as a link at all.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Try this

MoinMoin:TestPage

OtherWiki:TestPage

wiki:OtherWiki/TestPage

[wiki:OtherWiki/TestPage]
  1. Look at the ouput (see screenshot below). Bad interwikilinks with the syntax WikiWiki:PageName are not recognized. You have to write wiki:OtherWiki/TestPage or [wiki:OtherWiki/TestPage].

Workaround

Discussion

This is a feature, not a bug.

Some languages use the ":" as part of normal words, so we also check interwiki list to avoid false positives for them.
