We use Special:Export to retrieve some articles and project opages from the German Wikipedia, and Special:Import on http://krefeldwiki.de - a list of pages and numer of versions imported is shown as as a result. Page names are links, which usually link into the wiki of the upload. The project pages - having the namespace prefix "wikipedia" are incorrectly linked to the English Wikipedia.
Here is a piece of the html of the import response page:

This appear to me to be the result of a misinterpretation of the namespace prefix as an interwiki prefix.
There are two potential fixes. Both should be applied.
- Always make the list entries in the result page link to the local wiki. This is the 'real' remedy.
- Fix bug 5570. This would have avoided the wrong links in our case, but is not a general solution.
