Description

On dewiki, it is often intentional that the link text is not the title of the linked document. With the update to v2.0beta10, in cases like this

{{Literatur|Titel=Some Title|...|Online=[https://somelink online (PDF)]}}

where the template description is

{{Literatur|Titel={title}|...|Online={linkstring}}}

IABot replaces the link text with the {title} attribute:

{{Literatur|Titel=Some Title|...|Online={{Webarchiv|text=Some Title|...}}}}

Examples:

IABot should not do that unless specifically asked to do so. Instead, the {linkstring} should be handled like a blank wikilink:

{{Literatur|Titel=Some Title|...|Online={{Webarchiv|text=online (PDF)|...}}}}

Cirdan removed a subscriber: Aklapper.

It seems as if this only happens within {{Literatur}}, not in other cases.

I figured out the underlying mechanism and updated the description accordingly.

This is fixed in beta12.
