Description:
Steps to reproduce; problem is step 5:

Step 1) Create a dummy page at [[test]].
Step 2) Edit index.php, and to the end add:

global $wgOut;
print $wgOut->parse( "[[test]]") ;

Step 3) View the wiki, and observe that a link to "test" is indeed added to the page footer.
Step 4) Edit index.php, and change the above two lines to read:

global $wgOut;
print $wgOut->parse( "{{subst::test}}" );

Step 5) View the wiki, and observe that rather than the contents of "test" being included, the output is the literal string "{{subst::test}}".
Step 6) Make a new wiki page, insert "{{subst::test}}", and save, to confirm that this wiki text as part of an article does include the contents of "test".

Please note that I am assuming that $wgOut->parse() is intended to handle arbitrary wiki text. If this is not the case, then this behaviour may be by-design, in which case please close this bug as Invalid.
