Houston we have a Problem.

The en interwiki prefix is hungry and is eating my [[en:interwiki]] links!

Th en prefix is broken[edit]

On commons there are three Interwiki prefixes, three aliases for: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1:

  • en
  • w
  • wp

using any of these prefixes should result in an identical result, however, that's not the case.

As you can see below, whenever the en prefix is used the link fails to appear.

Clearly, the en prefix is hungry and is eating my interwiki links.

Someone needs to feed the en prefix before it consumes all interwiki links.

I would feed it, but I don't have the key to cage and I'm not trained in interwiki prefix feeding.
