Well if this were an on-wiki template I would suggest you normalise the
namespace name to the localised canonical name using {{NAMESPACE:<page>}},
then compare it with a switch to the various similarly-normalised namespace
names: {{#switch: {{NAMESPACE:<page>}} | {{ns:2}} = <it's a user page> |
{{ns:3}} = <it's a user talk page> }}. Programatically you'd be able to
cut out a lot of circularity in that process, just have a look at what code
is used in the NAMESPACE: parser function and see what you can reuse.
Or, and I can't quite tell which you want from your comment, are you
looking to detect when a link uses a prefix which is a User: namespace
alias in *any* language, even when that prefix is not in use on the wiki?
Why would you want to do that?
