Description

Typing [[[Foo|Bar]]] does not create '[Bar]' (with 'Bar' as a link), as expected. Instead, it spews '[[[Foo|Bar]]]' into the page itself.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

I think it is parsed as [[ [Foo |Bar ]] and "[Foo" is an invalid title, so the link is outputted as plain text. You can use [<nowiki />[[Foo|Bar]]] .

Another possiblity would be [[[Foo|Bar]]] .
I'd propose marking as resolved or even wontfix, since the parser behavior won't be changed.
