Description Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2004-08-16 20:29:51 UTC 
secureAndSplit() assume that a given link with an initial colon is part of
the MAIN namespace. This might be false in some occasion, for example one might
want to create a link to a template:

{{:mytemplate}}

This will render as a link to [[mytemplate]] instead of [[template:mytemplate]].

I am coding a patch for this.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2004-08-16 20:34:22 UTC 
I don't understand what the bug is supposed to be. {{:mytemplate}} will indeed import [[Mytemplate]] rather than [[Template:Mytemplate]], so the 
link is correct. (You can import a template from any namespace by specifying it explicitly; Template is just the default, there to separate the 
common cases of templates in a sensible fashion.)
Comment 2 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2004-08-16 20:40:33 UTC 
Forget me. For the last 3 hours I made the assumption that we could only
import articles from the template namespace ...

Additionaly I made an error in my testing page that I just figured out.

Closing things.
