Commit summary:
Talk page links were bluelinks if the root page existed instead of the subpage
(i.e. a link to MediaWiki talk:Xyz/nl was blue if MediaWiki talk:Xyz existed).
This is present in at least MW 1.16 - now.
Comment:
Commit message says how things were in 1.16 - now. Was that wrong ? Why ? What
was it changed to ? Without that information, it's hard to evaluate whether the
commit is broken or not.
In general, links to NS_MEDIAWIKI should almost always be blue, unless the
message does not exist anywhere (core or on-wiki). Afaik if
"<code>MediaWiki:Foo</code>" is created, then requesting
<code><nowiki>{{int:foo}}</nowiki></code> or <code>wfMsg()</code> in a dutch
language will work. So it may not be that wrong to have a link to
<code>MediaWiki:Foo/nl</code> link be blue if it does not exist. (After all, if
<code>MediaWiki:Foo</code> and <code>MediaWiki:Foo/*</code> don't exist at all
but that message is defined in PHP, then a link to <code>MediaWiki:Foo</code>
or <code>MediaWiki:Foo/nl</code> is and should be blue as well.
