-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thank you for your fast reply! The issue raises actually because [1] returns "pseudo-interwiki" links given by the DB names like 'dewiki', 'enwiki', and so on... So in that case I would be happy with any piece of code within the framework that is (somehow) able to deal with such links. At the moment I'm using: site = pywikibot.getSite() print site.fam().get_known_families(site).values() to try to deal with those links. But this list contains 'wiki' as known family and if I try to use pywikibot.Page(site, u'wiki:blabla') this won't work. To be more specific e.g. I get following 2 links: itwikisource:User talk:DrTrigon dewiki:User talk:DrTrigon the I look up the list and can see 'wikisource' and 'wiki' beeing there. Next step I try to convert to valid interwiki links and get: wikisource:it:User talk:DrTrigon wiki:de:User talk:DrTrigon the first one (and a lot of similar links work perfectly) but the second one (and for me the most frequent ones) does not work! It triggers: wiki:de:User talk:DrTrigon is not a local page on wikipedia:de, and the wiki family is not supported by PyWikipediaBot! which is obviously not true at all! On the other hand IF I do write w:de:User talk:DrTrigon OR de:User talk:DrTrigon it does work, but as far as I can see 'w' is no valid family at all. To summarize its possible to handle this but to me it does not seam very consistent behaviour, what do you think?
