Leading colon in wikilinks edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

DePiep The leading colon in wikilinks is required only for categories and files, NOT for their corresponding talk pages -- please see Help:Colon trick. And most certainly it is not required for pages prefixed with "Wikipedia" or "Templates". Would you mind explaining what's your rationale? Thanks! Fgnievinski (talk) 03:17, 16 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Colons with all namespaces. No need to edit the automated result. Does it break anything? -DePiep (talk) 10:37, 16 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Leading colon being optional -- "Doesn't break anything" -- is a long way from "nonsense. Even worse: Category: and File: *must* be prefix-colon-ized here"... Fgnievinski (talk) 18:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
