This fixes the problem but might not be safe
I have a very simple solution which consists in removing the brackets ('[' and
']') from the list of forbidden entities in a URL.
This modifies 3 regular expressions: 2 in Parser.php and 1 in Sanitizer.php
However, it should be checked by someone competent because I don't know the
possible implications in terms of security (there might be a good reason why
the brackets were forbidden).
I also note that currently, we do not check whether a URL is valid before
adding a link to it (eg. http://thisisan\invalidtest is transformed to a link).
But I found no explanation on mediawiki.org about what should be a valid (or
invalid) URL.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21261 --- Comment #2 from Jonathan Harker j...@jon.geek.nz 2009-12-08 02:28:55 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=6862) -- (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=6862) This does not fix it, as it leaves the path off the IPv6 link. Needs a regex genius. Okay so this bug boils down to tweaking the mExtLinkBracketedRegex in includes/parser/Parser.php I'm not sure how to alter this to include either passive groups for the IPv6 address brackets, or use a pipe to supply an almost identical alternative. I'm continuing to fiddle, but there might be a regex genius out there who's seen this before.
