Codeshare miles
I had a flight YYC-FRA booked as AC K class but on LH metal. I only got credited 50% miles even though AC gives 100% to K class to/from Europe. I'm thinking K --> W on LH, which gives 50%. But AC sold the ticket using their class profile thing and not LH's. Should I not be entitled to 100% of the miles?

Mileage earning is always based on the operating carriers accumulation rules regardless of what class was booked for the codeshare.
As you noted, most likely the K fare mapped to an LH fare that awards 50% mileage.

From the aeroplan website (regarding Air Canada):
Air Canada and certain airlines operate code-share flights, which allow both airlines to offer service to more countries throughout the world. Under such an agreement, several routes are served jointly by Air Canada and its code-share partners' aircraft.
For the mileage accumulation on Air Canada code-share flights operated by another Star Alliance airline, refer to the "Earn Miles" section of the airline operating the flight.
