The reason for special-casing URLs is that we know a URL can validly contain a
semicolon and can parse it both ways without any external lookup. By contrast,
with a key like `wikipedia=*` or `wikimedia_commons=*`, we technically wouldn’t
know if the semicolon serves as a delimiter without calling out to the
MediaWiki API. We could employ some heuristics like looking for `;[-a-z]{2,}:`,
but this could become a rabbit hole fast. If tag2link provides more information
on the heuristics to use, we could adopt a two-pass approach for more keys.
