[[link|links]]

, and so the text converts back to links? which has the entire text linked, thus causing the reconverted text to be different from the original. (The correct wikimarkup for this is

[[link]]<nowiki>s</nowiki>

, which changes to the incorrect

[[Link|link]]s

when changed back to wikimarkup (this wikimarkup also counts as having the s linked), so the round-trip can fail in the other direction too.
