Let's discuss EditPage.php's
$copywarn = "<div id=\"editpage-copywarn\">\n" .
wfMsg( $wgRightsText ? 'copyrightwarning' : 'copyrightwarning2',

		'[[' . wfMsgForContent( 'copyrightpage' ) . ']]',
		$wgRightsText ) . "\n</div>";

which uses

'copyrightwarning' => ... released under the $2 (see $1 for details)....

(Note the hardwired '[[', ']]' perhaps hackish looking code above.)

Well, it turns out if one makes e.g.,
$ GET 'http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Copyrightpage&action=raw'

http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:版权信息&variant=zh-tw

One will get ugly '[[1]]':
$ w3m -dump 'http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=User:Jidanni&action=edit&uselang=en' |fgrep [[1

the GNU許可 (see [[1]] for details). If you don't want your writing to be

That's right, EditPage.php makes the big assumption that
MediaWiki:Copyrightpage can only be an internal link.
Therefore the outer [ and ] of [[1]] end up being not parsed as part
of the link... just page clutter. Also the inner [1] itself is
probably not flexible if one wants to make it show up differently.
