Description

German interface, advanced search: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Help%3AHotCat&title=Special%3ASearch

Attachment also shows Bug 37871 (ignoring the namespace in advanced settings)
Wrong namespace is prefixed. [[:commons:Help:HotCat]] did not exist it is [[:commons:Commons:HotCat]] where the link also points to.

How to reproduce:

Log in to Commons
Change your interface language to German (English seems to work also)
Visit

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Help%3AHotCat&title=Special%3ASearch

Expected result:

Weiterleitung von "Commons:HotCat" if the link goes to Commons:HotCat

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

[Merging "MediaWiki extensions/Lucene Search" into "Wikimedia/lucene-search2", see bug 46542. You can filter bugmail for: search-component-merge-20130326 ]

This bug is "fixed" in CirrusSearch, as CirrusSearch doesn't mention redirects on the search page.

As we're in the process of migrating from Lucene to CirrusSearch, I'm closing this bug as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
