Description

  1. https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kinepolis_Enschede&veaction=edit
  2. Look at any link

Actual result:
Links are broken, actually pointing to https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/CineStar-Kino and https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/Bioscoop instead of /wiki.

Network:

https://nl.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Kinepolis_Enschede?redirect=false containing:

<base href="//nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/"/>
..
<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="./Bioscoop" title="Bioscoop" id="mwBQ">bioscoop</a> in
..  <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="./CineStar-Kino" title="CineStar-Kino" id="mwBw">CineStar-Kino</a>

Which looks fine.

But the CE surface contains:

<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="./Bioscoop" title="Bioscoop" id="mwBQ">bioscoop</a> in ..
.. <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="./CineStar-Kino" title="CineStar-Kino" id="mwBw">CineStar-Kino</a>

Which is broken relative to the current url, which is https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kinepolis_Enschede&veaction=edit.

I get a properly resolved URL in the CE using Ubuntu + Chrome/Firefox:

<a class="..." href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioscoop" title="Bioscoop">...</a>

Your pasted CE code looks wrong, because there are no CE classes, and it still contains the rel and id, which aren't copied to the CE.

User:Vsco reports that "(june 29)When editing articles in VE, it often happens that the links lead to a page with "page not found" ("/w/page" instead of "/wiki/page"). It does not always happen."

Still happening for me. This is from a plain load of https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kinepolis_Enschede&veaction=edit in latest Chrome. No further steps.

I reproduced in https://sa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=सदस्यः:Elitre/प्रयोगपृष्ठम्&oldid=424994 after copying from https://sa.wikipedia.org/wiki/अद्वैतवेदान्तः .

@matmarex I assume that this is also what is causing text from this sandbox to make links point back to the sandbox once published in main space? (if not, please shout and I'll file a different task.)

Possibly reported again at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback#Array_of_404_issues_resulting_from_.2Fw.2F_instead_of_.2Fwiki.2F_URL_in_editor_mode .

This appears to be completely solved now.

Firstly, it should be next to impossible to end up on a page with a /w/index.php style URL without manually typing it in, so this is an edge case to start with. Secondly, even if you do somehow end up on a page with that kind of URL, the problem that @Krinkle reported appears to be fixed, since the URLs in the links work just fine and correctly point to a valid /wiki/ style URL.
