Description:
According to bug 953 comment 1, w:<whatever> should point to a central place,
possibly http://www.wikipedia.org/<whatever>, which would redirect to the
appropriate page depending on the contents of <whatever>.
Hence if <whatever> doesn't have any interwiki prefix, the link pointed to would
be in the English wikipedia.
This is partly confirmed by
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Benutzer_Diskussion:Gangleri/tests/de_colon&diff=3473164&oldid=3453310
where the link [[w:Benutzer:Gangleri]] points to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Gangleri
(except that the "central place" isn't www.wikipedia but en.wikipedia, hardly
"central").
But in
http://de.wikibooks.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikibooks:Spielwiese&oldid=10793 the
link [[w:foo]] points not to http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo, not to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo bu to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo.
So is this a bug, or is it expected that from any project, w: is expected to
lead to some project under wikipedia, but it cannot be guaranteed which project
would be led to?
