As the wiki links work in a way that page titles become links, it is fine to pre-fill the text even the text was not inserted originally.  

However, please remove the separator line from the double brackets -> [[Example|]], when the text for wiki link is not provided.

I guess that makes the bug as originially filed WONTFIX.

[[Example]] and [[Example|]] are not necessarily equivalent: [[The Bay (radio station)|]] and [[Winnipeg, Manitoba|]] expand to [[The Bay (radio station)|The Bay]] and [[Winnipeg, Manitoba|Winnipeg]] respectively (the so-called pipe trick). I could of course look at the logic used for the pipe trick and see if it's simple enough to use in the dialog, so highlighting [[Winnipeg, Manitoba|]] would fill out Winnipeg in the Link text field.
