Description Douglas Gardner 2011-01-27 21:37:26 UTC 
Typing [[[Foo|Bar]]] does not create '[Bar]' (with 'Bar' as a link), as expected. Instead, it spews '[[[Foo|Bar]]]' into the page itself.
Comment 1 db [inactive,noenotif] 2011-01-28 19:18:21 UTC 
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]]] .
Comment 2 Bergi 2011-02-23 21:03:56 UTC 
Another possiblity would be &#91;[[Foo|Bar]]&#93; .
I'd propose marking as resolved or even wontfix, since the parser behavior won't be changed.
