There is a simpeler solution. The actual contents of Wikipedia get the namespace "content:". If everything is prefixed with a namespace then
the
first colon is always the end of the namespace.
That's perfect.
Would this require us to explicitly put "content:" in front of every link?
Not necessarily. I would propose that a link without a namespace should default to the namespace that it is in. That's how namespaces usually work anyway. It means for example that if you create a link on your home page without a namespace it becomes a page in the user: namespace. (Actually I still believe that every user should have his or her own namespace, but that is another issue.)
