I added a link to a mediawiki.org page using VisualEditor by pasting the URL in to the link box. It worked. I made a second link to the same wiki, using the same process. This time, it produced a red link. The result was this:
This might include [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Elitre (WMF)/Sandbox2 |a table about translation status]].
[[ ]] is not a valid wikitext link, and both [[ Example]] and [[Example ]]
render the same as [[Example]], so you'll never need to add either a
leading or trailing space to a link. Shall we re-title this as "Please
strip extraneous spaces from links", and add the obligatory link to
http://xkcd.com/327/ "?
