I realise that the same issue will hold for any affixal marker, not necessarily suffixes and case markers.

We have fixed this issue in the following way. Assume that the source language (English) page has a word with link say [[SL|SW]] where SW is a word in the source language and SL is the title of the page being linked in the source language.

In WikiBhasha, SW will be translated to a target language word TW using machine translation (MT) and SL is transformed to TL (title of the inter wiki lined target language page) by Wikipedia API.

Here are the possible outcomes

1. [[SL|SW]]: there is no inter wiki link for SL and MT could not translate SW
2. [[SL|TW]]: there is no inter wiki link for SL and MT could translate SW to TW
3. [[TL|SW]]: there exists an inter wiki link TL for SL and MT could not translate SW
4. [[TL|TW]]: there exists an inter wiki link TL for SL and MT could translate SW to TW

WikiBhasha transforms the above possible outcomes in the following ways.

1. [[SL|SW]]-> SW
2. [[SL|TW]]-> TW
3. [[TL|SW]]-> [[TL]]
4. [[TL|TW]]-> [[TL|TW]], if TL!=TW and [[TL]] if TL=TW

Good to see the fix. Thanks.

What happens in the cases when it is not of the form [[SL|SW]], but [[SL]] accompanied by a phrase to be translated as a whole?
Let's take the following example.
"There are twenty-eight states in [[India]]."

In Tamil, what will this become?
a) [[இந்தியாவில்]] இருபத்தி எட்டு மாநிலங்கள் உள்ளன.
b) [[இந்தியா]]வில் இருபத்தி எட்டு மாநிலங்கள் உள்ளன.
c) [[இந்தியா|இந்தியாவில்]] இருபத்தி எட்டு மாநிலங்கள் உள்ளன.

Of the above, (b) and (c) are acceptable, while (a) is not.

We consider [[SL]] as one particular case of [[SL|SW]] where ‘SL=SW’.
For your example, we apply the option (c)
in [[India]] -> [[இந்தியா|இந்தியாவில்]]
