Open, LowestPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Edit a page in VE in a namespace with subpages (e.g. User:Foo), that has a subpage (e.g. User:Foo/foo).
  2. Open the link dialog.
  3. Enter "/f".

Expected: The subpage is shown as suggestion.
Actual: The suggestions come from main namespace.

  1. Enter "/foo" completely yourself, insert the link.
  2. Review your changes.

Expected: The wikitext inserted is [[/foo]].
Actual: The wikitext is [/foo /foo], which won't even create a link.
