See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&oldid=564459649#Italicizing_wikilinks When someone italicizes (or bolds) a wiki link instead of placing quote marks around the link itself (like ''[[link]]'' ) it pipes a link with the same text but with quotes (for example [[link|''link'']] ) creating unneeded wikitext.
It has been noted today that VE still has issues with large pages, so it really shouldn't be adding unnecessary bytes to a page like this.
As I wrote in 50098, to avoid [[Foo|''Bar'']] you should italicize first, and link only after that. I added this to the Italian User guide and I am looking for other similar tips I might be missing. Thanks.
This is the same as bug 50098, yes; merging.

The length of a page's wikitext has no direct impact on VisualEditor's performance; it's the length and complexity of the HTML that's in question. In this case, the HTML is identical, so this has no performance impact. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 50098 ***
