#125 make interwiki.py accept a hint at namespace warning
WARNING: [[ksh:Metmaacher:Purbo T]] is in namespace 2, but [[dsb:Benutzer:Purbo T]] is in namespace 0. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o) n
should better be:
WARNING: [[ksh:Metmaacher:Purbo T]] is in namespace 2, but [[dsb:Benutzer:Purbo T]] is in namespace 0. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]dd replacement) n
Reason of the warning is an update of the language-file in the dsb wiki, which alters Benutzer -> Wužywar
(away from the German fallback)
Thus many previously set intwerwiki links need a namespace change. While this could be dealt with using a general search/replace, interwiki.py should not loose the interwiki links while it is operating before all links were adjusted. A manual replacement (hint) would be the ideal solution here.
If possible, it would be nice to have a typein "user:" automatically expanded to "User:Purbo T" in such cases, but that is rather a gimmick.

This gives another motivation, or justification, for the suggested feature.
With the feature added: When seeing a possible solution, you could enter that solution immediately, saving time, server load and, more often than not, another bot run.
