This happens when manually trying to link from a Wikibase item to a wiki page:
- click 'edit' on a site link
- enter site, in my case 'en'
- on 'page', enter for example 'delocator.net'
- the suggester shows the existing page on the wiki, with its correct title "Delocator.net"
- click on the suggested title
- click 'save'
- reply from wiki api: "The specified article could not be found on the corresponding site."

}This happens with any wiki page with a title that looks like a domain name, for example ubermorgen.com, rhizome.org, and so forth. It is no problem to create such wiki pages or label items with such a scheme.
Pywikibot is also affected, when trying to automatically set site links.
