Description

Basically when blocking a user with something like "{{blocktemplate}} [[Article]]", and then looking at [[Special:CentralAuth/Username]] on a different wiki, the links in the block log point to local targets rather than pointing to the wiki the block was issued on.

This can be seen at https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=Legosock where I blocked my alt. account on testwiki.

Bug 61916 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

From bug 61916:

On
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Suporte_Acad%C3%AAmico
there is a table cell like this:
<td>Blocked indefinitely.
Reason: Conta de <a href="/w/index.php?title=WP:CPU&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="WP:CPU (page does not exist)">propósito único</a></td>

The link should point to the Portuguese Wikipedia, as in e.g.:
<td>Blocked indefinitely.
Reason: Conta de <a href="//pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CPU" title="WP:CPU">propósito único</a></td>

If possible, the link should also use the namespace alias and add the "mw-redirect" class whenever that is appropriated, since on
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=User%3ASuporte_Acadêmico&uselang=en
the link is like this:

<a href="/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:CPU" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipédia:CPU">propósito único</a>
