This also affects external (i.e. non-WMF/private mediawiki wikis).  

Background: MW comes set up with default interwiki links per
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interwiki#Default. So for example, if I
make a link on my personal wiki (where I have left all the defaults intact) :
[[wikipedia:Foo]] will link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo.  The same is
true for [[wikiquote]], etc.  Except for wikisource.  [[wikisource:Foo]] will
link to http://wikisource.org/wiki/Foo.  Although this is inconsistent, it's
not directly a problem and is actually desirable as it's less Anglo-centric.

Problem:  [[wikisource:s:Foo]] will link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo. 
To link to the english wikisource the link must be structured thus:
[[wikisource:en:s:Foo]].  This is consistent with the problem above, as links
from the multilingual (old) wikisource to subdomains must be structured
[[s:en:Foo]]

Of course, there needs to be a plan to bot in the implementation of any fix,
that is, to replace all the existing work around links with links that comply
with the fixed format.
