I looked into trying to identify things that MW will turn into langlinks and only prepending ':' to those, but it might be easier to just do it to all interwikis. :/

Krenair mentioned this in T101406: VisualEditor doesn't colon-prefix interwiki links when needed, causing them to become language links.

Note that T95850: Parsoid does not escape language prefixes in internal link hrefs, causing html2html round-trip failures is related but not the same.

matmarex moved this task from Freezer to To Triage on the VisualEditor board.

Hey @marcella @ppelberg, this isn't directly in the wheelhouse of Mobile Usability bugs but we would like to work on this. Talk to @matmarex for more context.

(More context in the Parsoid subtask: T95850#5078918)

@ssastry we are moving this to external on our board and tagging parsoid based on the code.
