Description WhatamIdoing 2014-01-02 17:00:23 UTC
Intention:
Move a sentence to a diffeent place on the page.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Firefox, open a page containing existing [[links]] to other pages on the wiki.
2. Cut one of them.
3. Paste it in a different spot.

Actual Results:  
The link gets converted from [[Link]] into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link].

See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Edgepedia/VE/S%26D&diff=588724142&oldid=588539903 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silaum_silaus&diff=588803158&oldid=587979575  

Expected Results:  
The [[Link]] would remain an internal link.

Reproducible: Sometimes

One of these pages involved the {{sfn}} (shortened footnotes) template.
