Hi DrTrigon,
"wiki" is reserved by Family.known_families. You know you get the related
dbName of a site just by Site.dbName() which returns "dewiki_p" for
"wikipedia:de". Thereby for historic reasons, the databases are called
xxwiki instead of xxwikipedia for Wikipedias.
You are using side effects doing your dbname2wikilink() conversion and I am
sure you are able to modificate this stuff with stuff.replace("wiki:",
"wikipedia:") if needed. In other words (your wrote me) "There should be
one-- and preferably only one --__obvious__ way to do it" and btw "Although
that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch" (again: PEP20, The
Zen of Python)
Sali ;)

"wiki" is being use as the interwiki link to the original wiki,
WikiWikiWeb at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki, so you shouldn't use that
for anything related to Wikipedia. You are getting it returned
since Wikipedias can use it as an interwiki link to the
WikiWikiWeb, i.e. [[:wiki:WelcomeVisitors]] becomes 
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors
So this means essentially 'wiki' in toolserver DB (like e.g. 'dewiki')
does not refer to the same as 'wiki' in pywikipediabot and interwiki...
(strange...)
But would also explain this 'inconsistency'... ;)
Thanks and Greetings
