See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Okeyes_%28WMF%29/sandbox&diff=next&oldid=563541289 for example; It should be [[''death'' metal]].
Is this still happening? In my sandbox just now, VE changed [[Ancient Carthage]] to [[Ancient Carthage|''Ancient'' Carthage]] as I would expect. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AThryduulf%2Fsandbox2&diff=570143239&oldid=568345382
With the sole exception of plaint text followed by italic text, it seems that a separate link is created for each part of the link that has a different bold/italic status: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thryduulf/sandbox4&diff=574094377&oldid=574094235 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thryduulf/sandbox4&diff=574094083&oldid=574093861 To reproduce: 1. Create or edit any page that has consecutive words that have different italic/bold annotation, i.e. any of ''one'' two '''un''' deaux ''ein'' '''zwei''' '''un''' ''dai'' '''uno''' due 2. select both words and make the selection a link (internal or external). Expected behaviour: One link is created, e.g. [[link|''one'' two]] Actual behaviour: Two links are created, e.g. [[link|''one''']] [[link|two]]
