Description CBM 2007-12-31 02:44:19 UTC 
Attempting to directly load a page with an interwiki prefix fails with an 'unsupported character' error, while directly loading an interlanguage page works as expected. Example:

This link works:    http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=fr:Main_page

This link does not work:    http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=mw:Main_page

Both titles work identically when typed into the search box; it's only when they are typed directly into the URL that the difference is noticeable.
Comment 1 CBM 2007-12-31 03:49:19 UTC 
The behavior appears to come from line 152 of Wiki.php, where a test for local interwikis is used to prevent redirect loops. Also possibly related to bug 850 (thanks to Splarkla on IRC for help with this).
Comment 2 Roan Kattouw 2007-12-31 11:20:32 UTC 
This behavior is intended. Interwiki prefixes defined as local in the interwiki table display the behavior you demonstrated on fr: , non-local prefixes behave like mw: does. See also the blurb on iw_local at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Interwiki_table
