Hello, I've installed a new wiki version 1.11 (but older wikis behave like version 1.11). Furthermore I've inserted interwiki links from maintenance/wikipedia-interwiki.sql. In my wiki are links to the german wikipedia and other wikis.
1st: Typically I use [[w:de:pagename]] to access the german wikipedia. This link is expanded to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:pagename which is redirected to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/pagename and works well. There's another shortcut 'de' in interwiki.sql which I want to use and which should be expanded to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ (the last URL above). When I use [[de:pagename]] to link to the german wiki no link to the foreign page (empty string) is shown in my wiki.
2nd: When I call 'special:wantedpages' it seems so, that all pages referenced from other wikis apear in this list. This is independent if a page really exist or not, i.e. pages [[w:de:Kennwort]] or [[w:Free_Software_ Foundation]] exist. Clicking to german wikipedia links, the corresponding page will be shown, clicking to the english wikipedia link the correspnding page will be opened in edit mode.
This is very strange behavior. Can anyone explain this behavior.
Thanks for your help Wolfgang

Maybe it's appearing on the left sidebar? Use [[:de:pagename]] for an inline link.

The link ist part of a normal page.
[[:de:pagename]] works, thanks for your advise
