Currently, an interwiki link like this:
[[wiktionary:de:Kopf]]is expanded in the HTML output as:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/de:KopfThe server at en.wiktionary.org has special code that redirects a request for this URL to:
http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Kopf
Note that this is necessary for projects not under our control, like Wikia (interwikis work for all Wikia projects in the form [[Wikia:Projectname:Pagename]] right now). But for WMF projects, it seems sensible to do this. Someone else might be able to think of breakage it would cause somewhere, though.
