transferbot.py script's appended text is creating interwiki links instead of wiki links
Open, MediumPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Example page: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PermaLink/441424

At the very end of the page the script has added the line:

  • <small>This page was moved from [[en:Garima Chaudhary]]. Its edit history can be viewed at [[Garima Chaudhary/edithistory]]</small></noinclude>

However, instead of making this useful text for a reader, it is creating an interwiki link and not providing the information to the reader. The prefered text would have been:

  • <small>This page was moved from [[:w:en:Garima Chaudhary]]. Its edit history can be viewed at [[Garima Chaudhary/edithistory]]</small></noinclude>

Specifically, including a full link to the source project.
