Example: [[GNU General Public License|GPL]]v2 shows as GPLv2 where GPLv is linked.
This is an expected and intentional behaviour. If you want to override it, wrap it in <nowiki>: [[GNU General Public License|GPL]]<nowiki>v2</nowiki>.
Strange. Can you please explain the motivation of this behavior or point to relevant documentation?

Thank you, Max, for providing the link, but there is no explanation of this exact behavior there.
I applied the <nowiki> hack in the Wikipedia page where I had encountered this feature/bug, but this is no solution for the community.
"word-ending links" on the help page is this behaviour. If the part after a link match the $linktrail in Messages*.php than it is a part of the link. That save many links with alternative linktext, but in some cases you have to work around. You can also use <nowiki /> to break the linktrail from the link [[GNU General Public License|GPL]]<nowiki />v2.
Ah! Thank you for quoting explictly. Now I know. So, this is because of being able to write for example: [[Help]]ing instead of: [[Help|Helping]]
