[[File:VE glitch March 2026 - VPT.png|thumb|Searching for [[Wikipedia:VPT]] displays...some other things.]]

Something odd is going on when searching for pages in the [[Wikipedia:Project namespace]] using [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]]. The word <code>Wikipedia</code> is showing up with a lowercase <code>w</code> and the search results are displaying results for the project page's name if it was in mainspace, as seen to the right. <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">[[User:Mdm.Bla|<span style="color: DarkGreen">md</span>]][[User talk:Mdm.Bla|<span style="color: Indigo">m.b</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Mdm.Bla|<span style="color: Maroon">la</span>]]</span> 21:56, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
: It looks like the search field wants to interpreted the input as [[Help:Interwiki linking|an interproject link]] to Wikipedia, despite being on Wikipedia already. For example, [[commons:Special:Permalink/1182336812|on Wikimedia Commons]], the wikitext to produce a link to this Village pump page is <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)]]</nowiki></code> (note the repetition of the word "Wikipedia"). —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 22:16, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

:As a workaround you can use the namespace aliases WP or Project instead of Wikipedia. [[User:PrimeHunter|PrimeHunter]] ([[User talk:PrimeHunter|talk]]) 00:25, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
