Yeah, currently there is a link trail with "[[Example]]s", but I neither consider this intuitive nor helpful. If I specify target and link text separately, why would I want a link trail? I could write it as part of the target instead. I think for most people writing something like [[Examples|Example]]s is the first thing they try to avoid link trails. In my opinion, link trailing doesn't make anything easier if target and link text are specified separately. To be clear: I propose to change the current parser behavior to avoid unwanted link trails. > Is the particular case you mention common?

As the case I mentioned shouldn't be common and clearly more complicated as needed, I think a behavior change wouldn't have that much impact.
