When a topic title includes an internal link, the title should render as a working link in the topic header.
This will use the edit summary parser.
Examples:
The topic title is [[Foo]] -- it will render as Foo -- a link to the article page Foo.
The topic title is [[Foo|Bar]] -- it will render as Bar -- a link to the article page Foo.
~~The topic title is [http://foo.com Foo] -- it will render as Foo -- an external link to foo.com.~~ (We decided to use the edit summary parser, which does not support this.)
NOTE #1: For posts, replies and edits to a post/reply -- in watchlist, recent changes and contributions, there will be a blue link that says Foo -- but this will NOT be a link to the article page Foo. It will be a link to the Topic:UUID. See screenshots below.
NOTE #2: In topic history, board history, watchlist, recent changes and contributions, when there is a change to the topic summary, or moderation actions, the topic title will be rendered as Foo, no link.
For example: created topic summary on Foo
**Topic heading -- this should be a working link**
{F250640}
**Contributions** --
For the post/reply/edit, the link should render as the title (no brackets), and should link to the Topic:UUID, not to the page.
For editing the topic summary, the link should render as the title, not linked.

**Recent changes** --
For the post/reply/edit, the link should render as the title (no brackets), and should link to the Topic:UUID, not to the page.
For editing the topic summary, the link should render as the title, not linked.

**Watchlist** --
For the post/reply/edit, the link should render as the title (no brackets), and should link to the Topic:UUID, not to the page.
For editing the topic summary, the link should render as the title, not linked.
{F250675}
{F250677}
**Board and Topic history** --
For both post/reply/edit and editing the topic summary, the link should render as the title, not linked.

previous version of the ticket:
Flow: Wikitext formatting (such as [[links]] and ''italics'') doesn't work in topic titles
When you create a new Flow thread, there's a "topic" field. This topic field is analogous to the "subject" field in a wikitext talk page. The topic field currently cannot support wikitext.
Example: http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Sandbox&workflow=0509a3b2518b34dffb6efa163e68c4ac&action=view
Topic input: "here's a new [[topic]]"
Expected behavior: "[[topic]]" becomes an internal hyperlink
