Description

On English Wikipedia, the redlinked page Talk:C Real is unreachable and displays an error. This might have to do with c: being a shortcut to Commons (not to be confused with the C:\ drive on the computer).

Note: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:C_Real loads just fine when logged out and only errors when logged in, whereas explicitly trying to edit the page by going to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:C_Real&action=edit errors regardless of whether you are logged in or not.

It shows a fatal error both when logged-in and when logged-out for me. No apparent work-around.

In this case, and in T185049 and T199210, the error occurs when attempting to view a log entry which the API shows as having "target_title": "Special:Badtitle" (or equivalent) followed by "Talk:" and a title with an interwiki or namespace prefix.
