depends on the program. There is no general answer to this question. I guess no program will give full miles on all fare classes with all partners. Pick and choose what suits you best.

There are no absolutely ridiculous rules such as this one, but plenty of mostly ridiculous rules for other things.
In general, a paid J ticket will earn 150% mileage and full Y will earn 100%. Where it gets strange is on the discounted fares.
CO will only give 50% credit for discounted NW & DL operated flights. They give 100% for KL operated flights in the same exact fare bucket/price as the NW ones. That is just one example, but there are many.

Yeah it all depends, with NW you earn on all airlines with a few exceptions like R class on Altalia, N class on Korean....however sometimes it's not at a 100% for earning miles nor for 100% of elite qual miles....but from NW no wholesale no miles for these routes like the BA/AA thing....
