There was a proposition to remove "»" from link trail symbols. For 5 days nobody opposed, so please update the $linkTrail.
It seems impossible to do this as a site configuration change. Is it generally a bug in MediaWiki, or is it ukwiki that is using "»" for something different than general Ukrainian use?
Sorry, you're right, it's MediaWiki issue. But now I'm not sure can this symbol be safely removed: why «[[ggg]]» is linked as [[ggg|«ggg»]] in Ukrainian Wikimedia projects? Other wikipedias ignore «

Other wikipedias ignore « Because in MessagesUk.php, there are: $linkTrail = '/^([a-zабвгґдеєжзиіїйклмнопрстуфхцчшщьєюяёъы“»]+)(.*)$/sDu'; and $linkPrefixExtension = true; 'linkprefix' => '/^(.*?)(„|«)$/sD', I guess it could be a better fix to move linkTrail to a message, just like linkprefix, so it can be customized on site. In either case (move to message or just modify $linkTrail) it requires core change. Moving to MediaWiki product.
As far as I can see there is no capability to link «[[ggg]]» -> [[«ggg»]] but omit '»' in «lala [[ggg]]», so current version is most appropriate.

Actually both seem to create mistakes, so this is a valid bug. Removing quotes is very easy and sounded reasonable, but I guess some discussion is needed (not here) to decide what error is worse. Another bug should probably be filed to get linktrail to be as flexible as described above, if that's the desired result.
