The URL field has the example. When external links are used inside table syntax, the external links don't work correctly. It seems entirely sensible to have external links take precedence in the parser for this case.
That syntax is invalid, you were using a | to separate the link. Links are separated by a space ' ', when you use proper syntax the link works perfectly fine. http://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandbox&oldid=62724 Marking as INVALID.
Heh, whoops... API like urls, with the | in the url, ok. First glance looked like the common url mistake.
Changing link, this example should show the actual issue on how it differs.

Isn't the reason for the different syntaxes between external and internal links for the precise reason that pipes are allowed in external links?
