I tend to use this as my convention in emails as "word:" may be confused for being the start of some sort of list but ":word" would not be and if I use "wmuk:" I might mean the UK chapter but by ":wmuk" I always mean the UK chapter wiki. On wiki I often stick a colon in front of a link as I am used to this being the convention to link to images rather than embedding them. If left in by accident, the colon does not hurt any interwiki link as I believe it is always parsed out. For example [[m:Main page]], [[:m:Main page]] and [[::m:Main page]] all go to the same place.
