Bug ID: 54877
Summary: VisualEditor: It is possible to create a partly
working wikilink like [[[[this]]]]] (four square
brackets, and no nowiki tags)
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified

(Where the word is the actual working part of the element).
Probably not a real bug, since it is triggered by a user mistake (who should
remove the brackets), but since it's easily reproduceable, here are the steps:
take any <nowiki>[[link]]</nowiki> created like this (by ignoring the markup
warning).
VEdit the page and use the linking tool on the word inside the brackets.
Save, you now have [[[[link]]]], and of course the nowiki tags are gone.

Just interested in understanding whether VE wants or can do something about it.
(Note that it is absolutely possible to get the same result with the
traditional editor as well,
