--- Comment #4 from Gabriel Wicke <[email protected]> ---
This bug was about single square brackets ([ ... ]), not wikitext links. 

Entering [[Foo]] as text will practically always need to be escaped as the
rules for valid page titles are less restrictive than those for absolute URLs.
Same is true for linking parts of a word where the remainder of the word would
become part of the link via the link trail mechanism (aka- less precisely-
'piped links'). Or entering any other random wikitext in the VE. Not escaping
such wikitext would break the WYSIWYG promise.
