Closed, InvalidPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

If you have a link with 2 or more of the following:

  • Interwiki
  • Interlanguage
  • Namespace

e.g. \[\[Commons:Commons:CRT\]\]
Pipe trick doesn’t work as one would expect—for example, it turns the above link into \[\[Commons:Commons:CRT|Commons:CRT\]\] when it should instead do \[\[Commons:Commons:CRT|CRT\]\].
