Description

In this edit the link [[World Heritage Site|World Heritage Site]] was added. The exact same text before and after the pipe is pointless.

The unnecessary text was auto-removed by English Wikipedia's helpful User:Yobot, but it shouldn't be added in the first place—Parsoid or VE should just put that text in once. (Probably Parsoid, but I might be wrong.)

Parsoid does this normally. This was probably some edge case that prevented it. In any case, there is a bunch of link serialization code improvements going on. Hopefully some of these edge cases will get addressed as part of it.

ssastry renamed this task from Visual Editor (or Parsoid) should auto-unify the same duplicate text before and after the pipe in a link to Parsoid failed to generate simplified wikilink syntax in an edit.Jul 31 2016, 3:17 PM
