Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/984/ Reported by: mcknol Created on: 2009-07-17 00:02:21 Subject: self-interwikis shouldn't be removed Original description: Interwiki.py removes every internal link which refers to the own language site. For example, in en.wiki a link like [[en:article]] would be removed by the bot. This seems logical (the main syntax for non-interwiki interlanguage links would be [[:en:article]]), but the wiki-software doesn't interpret self-links as interwiki-links, so the pywikipedia-bot should neither do that.
Here is an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Parser%5C_function&diff=2...
