Subject: self-interwikis shouldn't be removed
Original description:
Interwiki.py removes every internal link which refers to the own language site. For example, in en.wiki a link like \[\[en:article\]\] would be removed by the bot. This seems logical \(the main syntax for non-interwiki interlanguage links would be \[\[:en:article\]\]\), but the wiki-software doesn't interpret self-links as interwiki-links, so the pywikipedia-bot should neither do that.
Here is an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Parser\_function&diff=290795738&oldid=288396807
Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r7065, 2009/07/14, 19:34:51\)
Python 2.6 \(r26:66721, Oct 2 2008, 11:35:03\) \[MSC v.1500 32 bit \(Intel\)\]
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
