It looks like what you're running into is,

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T2529
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14974

https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/b3f6d9f20f32f50902dc462ff5c46ee1be436335/includes/parser/Parser.php#L3323-L3331

so that, when a namespace is present,
the output of the parser function starts
with a colon, which gets pushed to a new
line, breaking the wikilink syntax.
