Template for {{AUR|pkg}} broken if target is a split package [SOLVED]

The {{AUR|pkg}} template seems broken for split packages.
Lahwaacz.bot, recently crawled the Kodi page and uncovered this bug.

As an example, try clicking "kodi-matrix-git" from this link.

It will send your browser to a "404 - Page Not Found" at this url:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-matrix-git/

When searching on that same name in the AUR web interface, the following is what gives the correct hit:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=kodi-matrix-git

Template:Pkg doesn't work for split packages too, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … iff=510080

What is the recommendation?

The AUR and Pkg templates expect a valid "pkgname", they don't work for a "pkgbase" which is different from all "pkgname"s of the split package.

The correct link for a "pkgbase" on AUR is this: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/kodi-matrix-git/

Handling archweb links properly is more complicated since it uses the "/packages/" path for both pkgname and pkgbase, so we can't know which case it is just by looking at the URL.

OK, I will just use kodi-matrix-git-common as the target. Also wanted to be sure the bug was known.
