When listing categories via API (such as the Pywikipediabot does), the query-continue acfrom output is not correct (changed in case) when the next category starts with "EN:" Please check the following URL: https://es.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allcategories&format=xml&acfrom=EN&aclimit=10 I'm asking for categories starting at EN, but acfrom returned is: <query-continue> <allcategories acfrom="en:Adjectivos" /> </query-continue> As you can see, the capital "EN" became a lower case "en". The correct result would be "EN:Adjectivos". This will cause a "jump" in the categories iteration, skipping results from "EN:" to "en:". As far as I can tell, this seems to happen only for categories starting with "EN:", and not "DE:" or "BG:", for example. Thanks.
Cause: The API module calls ->keyToTitle( 'EN:Adjectivos' ) and Title::newFromDBKey( 'EN:Adjectivos' ) reads it as an interwiki link, so the interwiki prefix is normalized when output back. Maybe we want to fix keyToTitle to use Title::makeTitle? The titleToKey function may need fixing too.

That is the same problem like bug 25702, bug 36400, bug 36987 and maybe more. The continue param needs not keyToTitle and titleToKey conversion.

Should be fixed by Gerrit change #8407
