  That's because the internal link [[ns1:]] gets trimmed to [[ns1]] by
  the parser and thus the page name is ns1.txt in the root namespace.
  How could dokuwiki choose the name of the page if the [[ns1:]] link
  was not cleaned up? There is no default page name for namespace
  (except for the root namespace which has $conf['start']).

  The attached patch changes this behavior of dokuwiki defining
  $conf['start'] as the default page for any namespace and not
  trimming [[ns1:]] alike links (which get expanded to
  [[ns1:$conf['start']]]).

  ns1 is probably red because ns1.txt page in the root namespace does
  not exist.
