Cross posted to Wikipedia-l (if fixing this is
anything but a technical issue - which it shouldn't be
since this feature worked before -, then please
respond to Wikipedia-l)

Changing XxWikipedia: in-line links to :xx: in-line
links does not solve the problem that XxWikipedia:
does not work. :xx: needs to be reserved for easy
in-line language linking /within/ a single project
(such as Wiktionary when it finally gets
internationalized - xx: links would therefore be magic
language links) and the more explicit Xx{project_name}
should a failsafe default that will work the same in
any MediaWiki-powered project and meta.

Here is the diff that still shows the broken links:
