I noticed a red link at the top of [[FreeDOS]] to [[FreeDOS32]], a page that exists. The problem is that the link is generated via [[:{{NAMESPACE}}: FreeDOS32]] The {{NAMESPACE}} is null, and the parser gets confused by the space: it makes a red link to the page called _FreeDOS32. See http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugzilla_report_on_NAMESPACE_red_links for a more permanent example of this bug in action.
This is like Bug 5338: Heading colons and red / blue links - selfreference detection
(In reply to comment #0) > The {{NAMESPACE}} is null, and the parser gets confused by the space: it makes a > red link to the page called _FreeDOS32. re: *_FreeDOS32* There are no heading and trailing spaces / underscores in page titles. I agree that the url looks like http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=_Bug_5427&action=edit but the header shows "Editing Bug 5427". This might be confusing for some users. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
*note* In the past I have seen many such references containing links with {{NAMESPACE}} in templates and some templates did fail when used in the image and category namespace. There are many aproaches on "inline" referencing. One is Bug 2370: request for a <inline> ... </inline> extension
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_5427 no longer shows open issues. Closing FIXED.
