Summary: colon omitted in link to category page
Initial Comment:
Consider a page X containing only the following wiki markup:
[[:Category:some category]]
Let page be a Page object for X. Then
links = page.linkedPages()
for link in links:
wikipedia.output(page.title())
wikipedia.output(page.aslink())
outputs:
Category:some category
[[Category:some category]]
i.e. the leading colon has been swallowed. I suggest the colon be kept due to the semantic
difference between [[:Category:some category]] and [[Category:some category]].
(A similar problem might exist with interlanguage links; I haven't tested, though)

Page.aslink() has an optional parameter "textlink" (defaults to False); if
True, the leading colon will be output. This is a relatively recent
addition to the framework, and many bots have not yet been updated to use
it.
This parameter does not yet work for interwiki links.
