Description James Forrester 2014-09-07 02:56:02 UTC 
Create a link to [[bugzilla:12345]] and the link inspector thinks it's a redlink. Not great. :-(

Change 160155 had a related patch set uploaded by Alex Monk:
Try to handle interwiki links in LinkTargetInputWidget

Comment 2 Alex Monk 2014-09-17 00:08:10 UTC 
So it turns out this patch is basically useless because iw_api is barely populated anywhere. The MW installer doesn't do it (bug 46992), and WMF sites don't do it (maybe we should file a bug for this). Clever past-me filled the value for 'wikipedia' on my own install (which I what I had been testing against) and left it at that.
Comment 3 Gerrit Notification Bot 2014-09-17 00:09:17 UTC 
Change 160155 abandoned by Alex Monk:
Try to handle interwiki links in LinkTargetInputWidget

Reason:
Pretty much depends on upstream MediaWiki core + Wikimedia interwiki cache work, see bug for info
