It's current impossible to link to another page if it contains more then two apostrophes.
I demonstrated it on the Commons Sandbox over here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Sandbox&oldid=44173270
An example of such page is here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Krinkle/%27%27%27Example%27%27%27
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
URL: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Sandbox&oldid=44173270
A similar problem also occurs on the Special:WhatLinksHere page.
See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Krinkle/%27%27%27Example%27%27%27
The phrase "No pages link to [[:User:Krinkle/Example]]." is only partially bolden. The '''Example''' part is unbolden, so the pagename is actually being rendered as wiki-text, this isn't supposed to happen, right ?
Looks like things have only gone worse. Using entities used to work.

Just as a note, they still work (or at least numeric entities do, the ' didn't work for me). Both of the following work in my test.
*[[User:Krinkle/%27%27%27Example%27%27%27]]
*[[User:Krinkle/'''Example''']]
