Bug Description
+editwikinames looks like it only works with MoinMoin wikis. For a MediaWiki wiki the user page is not the Wiki base URL + user name.
For example (I'm a Wikipedian):
Wiki base URL: http://
Username:
Launchpad/people turns this into: http://
Even entering "http://
The correct URL is <http://

The code to handle WikiNames is very simple; all it does is append the Username field to the "Wiki base URL" one when generating the link.
Ideally I think it should detect the type of wiki and do the right thing, but that's not a trivial change. The option you suggested (allowing users to specify the wiki type) may not be feasible if we start supporting other types.
For now, you can use "http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/" as the base url and "User:SecretLondon" as the username.
