Description When adding internal links from scratch, "/wiki/" was added in front of the page title
Intention: Adding internal links
Steps to Reproduce:
- Load the link insertion dialog (e.g. using ctrl+k)
- select an internal link (e.g. Pasadena, California)
- close the link inspector to add the link to the page
It happened twice in this edit. 100% Reproducible in my sandbox sandbox test 1, sandbox test 2
Results: the displayed text was prepended with "/wiki/" i.e. VE producced [[Pasadena, California|/wiki/Pasadena, California]]
Expectations: the page title and displayed text would be identical, i.e. [[Pasadena, California]]
