See http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&language=fr&group=page-Wikidata%3ANews&filter=&action=page: The text "edit [in English]" is rendered as "edit English", with "English" linking to http://www.wikidata.org/w/in. No actual issue on the rendered page, which is why I'm marking this as minor, but obviously MW should be consistent with what it parses as exlinks.
Clarified the summary, it's only page view/page mode. (In reply to comment #0) > but obviously MW should be consistent > with what it parses as exlinks. Not obvious at all, e.g. edit summaries don't parse in the same way as pages and system messages all have different kind of parsing.
Fair enough, I was overly broad. :P What I was getting at is that IMHO page view should parse potential exlinks the same way that normal wiki markup does. I.e. show it as an exlink if it starts with //, http://, https://, mailto:, irc://, etc., and don't show it as one if it starts with anything other than one of those predefined prefixes. Seems like the only surefire way to avoid false positives like this one.
This is easy to fix.
