If I understand correctly you have a link [[historisk:newarticle]], which is a read link because the page doesn't exist. If you click on it a page is created with the title 'newarticle'. In that case even if the namespace is not valid, the pagename of the page to be created should be 'historisk:new article'. So probably something else is causing this behavior.
