Spaces in the interwiki link can make it into interlanguage link. For example [[:en:ox|ox]] is a proper inline interwiki link, with word "ox" linking to wikipedia article, but [[ :en :ox|ox]] (with spaces) does not show in the text, but rather shows up as a interlanguage link in the side bar on the left.

I just tried:
- [[ :en :ox|ox]]
- [[:en:ox|ox]]
on English wikipedia and it was parsed correctly (the same way), but Commons, Polish Wikipedia and Wikidata parses them differently. So maybe it is just the matter for all the project to use the same Wiki text parser as English Wikipedia.

Can you narrow it down? Which of the two spaces causes the problem? Or does it require both to be there?

I just tried
[[ :en :ox|ox]]
[[ :pl:ul|ul]]
[[:de :der|der]]
on Commons and on English and Polish Wikipedia and the first 2 parsed correctly, but the 3rd one did not. So it looks like 2 spaces option works fine now but the second space option is still wrong.

This is an issue with images as well: https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/T129218
It's hard to believe this bug hasn't already been reported at some point in the last 12 years, but if it has, I can't find it.
