In the search box of Wuuwiki, enter b:zh:, it goes to https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wb/wuu/https://zh.wikibooks.org/wiki/ instead of zh.wikibooks.org.
Enter s:zh:, it goes to https://wikisource.org/wiki/Https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/ instead of zh.wikisource.org.
The intermediate target, wuu.wikibooks or wuu.wikisource, doesn't exist. In such case the cross-wiki link goes to a wrong place.

Quite odd. I suspect the interwiki redirection code in missing.php needs to be updated.
The prepending of the protocol needs to be removed from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/OMWC/browse/master/wmf-config/missing.php;9821c9cb4130dd361898dc97a5c229a08db23cec$99. I'll upload a patch in a few hours if no-one beats me to it :)

Are the redirects to incubator expected to be working again now? (I think I had reported their being broken before.)
