Description

On http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Talk:Flow_QA , switch to VE and add to a post(or create a new one) with links to existing image File pages, e.g. File:Korat.jpg

<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Korat.jpg" title="File:Korat.jpg" class="ve-ce-linkAnnotation ve-ce-mwInternalLinkAnnotation new">File:Korat.jpg</a>

It will will be displayed in red with "page does not exist yet". However, the page exists and can be open.

Note: pages for User namespace are displayed fine.

Mentioned In: T96644: Leading colon for file links should not be included in URLs and link captions
Mentioned Here: T65355: Direct link to a non-extant local file ([[:File:Foo]]) is red even if there is an extant file in a remote repo

@Jdforrester-WMF I think that you're correct, and these are duplicates.
