As a user who is trying to preview if the link I've typed is to the correct target, if I click on the link-inspector's target preview, I am sent to the wrong page.
Only once I save the edit, will the link go to the correct target.
Input: [[toolforge:translate]]
Expected target: https://tools.wmflabs.org/translate/
Current result: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Toolforge%3Atranslate
reproduced in visual editor and structured discussion
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||

Ah, I think this might be related to the "Forward" [yes/no] specification given at the top of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Interwiki ?
This is probably something in NWE since Parsoid does the right thing.
[subbu@earth parsoid] echo "[[toolforge:translate]]" | parse.js --prefix mediawikiwiki --normalize <p><a href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/translate" title="toolforge:translate">toolforge:translate</a></p>
Ok, thanks for checking. I'll change the tag to VE then, with the hope that is correct. (I confirmed the bug in visual editor mode, and flow's visual editing mode. Not NWE.)
I wonder if this is related to T165980, where links to the user page are incorrect in preview but are otherwise correct after saving.
