Description MZMcBride 2012-03-04 19:04:56 UTC

When using ApiSandbox with the options json/query/list=exturlusage, the euquery description section reads:

---
Search string without protocol. See [[Special:LinkSearch]]. Leave empty to list all external links
---

It's shows literal brackets around "Special:LinkSearch". I think this is a bit strange. It should be an actual link or not be bracketed, no?

I'm not sure I would definitely call this a bug, but it feels odd. It'd be nice if someone poked at it, at least.

API modules are self-documenting (getDescription(), getParamDescription() etc.). Both ApiSandbox as well as api.php main help page get them from the modules. So this is not a bug in ApiSandbox.

The description is plain text afaik, so this should probably not be bracketed.

Same "bug" is on https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php, [[]] is not linked. Treated as plain text.

Not sure how this is invalid, even if there are awkwardly unlinked terms in multiple places.
