Interwiki links to Wikisource from Wikisource do not function correctly. <nowiki>[[s:Main page]]</nowiki>, for example, leads to <u>/wiki/S:Main_page</u>. The usual response is to drop the prefix and load <u>/wiki/Main_page</u>. To reproduce this bug, see the link on [[s:User:Pathoschild/Sandbox3]]. The link on [[w:User:Pathoschild/Sandbox5]] is the usual response.
Note that the link to the Wikipedia sandbox fails because it apparently doesn't drop the prefix (although interwiki links from Wikipedia do). The fixed link is [[User:Pathoschild/Sandbox5]].
Interwiki prefixes to the same wiki behave inconsistently. URL prefixes to a different wiki always work: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/m:Sandbox > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/w:Sandbox > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/s:Sandbox URL prefixes to the same wiki fail in one of two ways: > with error: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/m:Sandbox > silently: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/s:Sandbox Wikilink prefixes to the same wiki fail on some wikis, work on others: > works: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pathoschild/Sandbox?oldid=1914477 > fails: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Pathoschild/Sandbox?oldid=1832527
There are a couple of different issues here: * [[s:Foo]] isn't recognised on Wikisource, etc. A solution to bug 955, accompanied by a change to the Wikimedia interwiki scripts and an edit to InitialiseSettings.php, would fix this. * [[m:Foo]] gives a bad title error. This could be fixed by adjusting $wgLocalInterwiki in InitialiseSettings.php, which I will proceed to submit a patch for.

Thanks. It looks like bug 61357 was the problem. I'm sorry that I didn't realise that this would be a problem - look at the timestamps of comment 8 and bug 61357 comment 0, you'd think I'd have been smart enough to work it out myself!
