https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text={{Wikipedia:Selected%20anniversaries/June%2026}}&disablepp=1&format=jsonfm You are looking at the HTML representation of the JSON format. HTML is good for debugging, but is unsuitable for application use. Specify the format parameter to change the output format. To see the non HTML representation of the JSON format, set format=json.

So buried up there is the string: --- <a href=\"/wiki/John_F._Kennedy\" title=\"John F. Kennedy\">John F. Kennedy</a> gave his \"<i><b>[[Ich bin ein Berliner|<span lang=\"de\" xml:lang=\"de\">Ich bin ein Berliner</span>]]</b></i>\" speech <i>(video featured)</i> --- You can see the "[[" and "]]" and "|" in there. As far as I know, the parse module should fully expand the wikitext into HTML. Not sure what's going on here.
"'''''[[Ich bin ein Berliner|{{lang|de|Ich bin ein Berliner}}]]'''''" Ich%20bin%20ein%20Berliner|{{lang|de|Ich%20bin%20ein%20Berliner}}]]'''''%22&disablepp=1&format=jsonfm">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text=%22'''''[[Ich%20bin%20ein%20Berliner|{{lang|de|Ich%20bin%20ein%20Berliner}}]]'''''%22&disablepp=1&format=jsonfm "text": { "*": "<p>\"<i><b>[[Ich bin ein Berliner|<span lang=\"de\" xml:lang=\"de\">Ich bin ein Berliner</span>]]</b></i>\"</p>\n\n" }, It seems it's something to do with the {{lang}} template being in the display text of the link.
From <view-source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries/June_26>: --- gave his "<i><b><a href="/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner" title="Ich bin ein Berliner"><span lang="de" xml:lang="de">Ich bin ein Berliner</span></a></b></i>" speech --- This is the correct output. This bug is seemingly related to the API, not the parser.
The problem is that {{lang}}'s output includes a category link when it is transcluded in the main namespace; if you change your API link to specify a non-mainspace title, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text={{Wikipedia:Selected%20anniversaries/June%2026}}&disablepp=1&format=jsonfm&title=Wikipedia:Sandbox, then it works as expected. And conversely, if you take "[[Ich bin ein Berliner|{{lang|de|Ich bin ein Berliner}}]]" and paste it into a mainspace page then you will see the issue there. I note this is already mentioned in the documentation for {{lang}}: > This template also includes a categorisation link when used by main namespace > pages, therefore it should not be included inside a wikilink. This error may > not be immediately obvious if it is used via another template namespace page. > If appropriate, the entire wikilink may be fed to the template instead: > {{lang|ar|[[Arabic language|العربية]]}}.
This is pretty bizarre behavior, but thanks for the explanation.
