--- Comment #3 from John Mark Vandenberg jayvdb@gmail.com --- The patch is against compat, but core has the same problem.
Core now has a Namespace class, which captures the canonical namespaces data of the wiki. Relevant code at: https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/9b67ec1424d160d1968ef3f3... https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/9b67ec1424d160d1968ef3f3...
The Namespace class isnt utilised in the old link parsing algorithms. There are a few core changesets related to this problem: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/150872/ - Link normalization https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/148337/ - force using namespace param; ignore namespace in title
