            Bug ID: 50279
           Summary: VisualEditor: Link inspector outwits itself with the
                    leading colon for Category/file links
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

1. Go to some page and edit in VE
2. Click the "Link" toolbar button, type "Category:" and click a category that
appears

The leading colon is correctly added, but the category now appears in red in
the dropdown as if non-existent (although it shows up under "matching pages",
not "new pages").

Probably, the link inspector should be ignoring/stripping the preceding colon
when checking whether the page exists.

Same thing for links to File: pages.
