             Bug #: 42140
           Summary: Internal page links created via VisualEditor contain
                    underscores
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: jforres...@wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com

Currently when a user uses the link dialog box tool thing in VisualEditor to
specify where certain text should link to, if the user specifies an internal
page as the target, the wikitext for the link will use underscores.

For example, I highlight some text in VisualEditor with my mouse and then click
the link icon. A "Hyperlink" dialog box appears and I enter "MediaWiki on IRC"
into the text input area. I hit the "return" key on my keyboard to make the
dialog box disappear and now I have a blue link in my VisualEditor interface.
If I then save this page and look at its wikitext source, I see:

[[MediaWiki_on_IRC|fffffffff]]

Internal links are using underscores. This is wrong.
