Event Timeline
Change 76341 had a related patch set uploaded by Liangent:
LanguageConverter fixes to eliminate parser test failures
The root cause is that:
<gallery>
File:foobar.jpg|caption|link=http://google.com
</gallery>
is expanded to:
<gallery>
File:foobar.jpg|caption|link=<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://google.com">-{R|http://google.com}-</a>
</gallery>
and then the embedded | in the link text screws up the caption parsing.
What does -{R|...}- do? It doesn't seem to be documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_systems/Syntax

It's usually used in auto-generated -{ }- tags, in case some text already contains a pipe in it triggering other syntax.
