See linked page at [[en:User:Grendelkhan/Scratch#External_links_in_captions_break_images]]. The following displays an image with a broken caption, and a spurious closing bracket afterwards: [[Image:Wiki.png|left|thumb|From [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia]]] Any space between the first and other two closing brackets causes the image not to be displayed at all. [[Image:Wiki.png|left|thumb|From [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia], the free encyclopedia.]] This is a problem for articles like [[en:History of Arda]], which need to provide credit and link-backs for the images they use. There is currently no way to display external links in image captions unless bare links are used, or the DIVs are manually written in. (The following works, for instance.) [[Image:Wiki.png|left|thumb|From http://wikipedia.org]]
Actually it was only external links that closed immitiately before the image link itself closed, like: * [[Image:Foo.png|thumb|[http://example.com]]] as opposed to * [[Image:Foo.png|thumb|[http://example.com].]] which worked. I've fixed the issue in HEAD and REL1_4, thanks for the report.
The bugfix is slightly buggy. The regexp in the parser which checks for the existence of "]]]" (tripel closing bracket) needs an additional regexp modifier "s" to also consume over newlines with the ".*" regexp part. This will also fix bug #1905.

Applied it to REL1_4 and HEAD, thanks.
