It is not [[la:O]] !  I think that was an inline link someone (probably me) tried to make in the en:beer parlor either forgetting to preface the colon ([[:la:O]]) or before interwikis were turned on.  The Latin page is [[Wikipedia:Taberna]].  (Yes, Wikipedia, because the namespaces' translations are still unimplemented...)
