Is it useful to use {{ns:project}} in messages? Isn't it simpler to write simply "Project:"? Doesn't that work in all projects and all languages?
To my knowledge the best practice is as follows:
1) "Please see [[Project:Help]]." 2) "Please see {{ns:project}}:Help"
1) Inside links MediaWiki will perform normalisation automatically. 2) Outside links we need to do it manually.
Note: Translators are slightly more likely to accidentally translate "Project" than "{{ns:project}}".
