+ // For the perplexed, this feature was added in r7855 by Erik.
+ // The feature was added because we liked adding [[$1]] in our log entries
+ // but the log entries are parsed as Wikitext on RecentChanges but as HTML
+ // on Special:Log. The hack is essentially that [[$1]] represented a link
+ // to the title in question. The first parameter to the HTML version (Special:Log)
+ // is that link in HTML form, and so this just gets rid of the ugly [[]].
+ // However, this is a horrible hack and it doesn't work like you expect if, say,
+ // you want to link to something OTHER than the title of the log entry.
+ // The real problem, which Erik was trying to fix (and it sort-of works now) is
+ // that the same messages are being treated as both wikitext *and* HTML.
