filter_wikilinks does not work for links with added suffixes

[djstrong]

For wikicode [[link]]s filter_wikilinks returns [[link]] - it should [[link]]s or [[link|links]].

The link trail depends on the language. For example, the one on the English Wikipedia is different from the Ukrainian one. The filter_wikilinks method should maybe accept the link trail as an argument, otherwise no trail would be recognized.

filter_wikilinks doesn't do any actual work, it just navigates the tree. This would have to be an argument to mwparserfromhell.parse... I'm really uncomfortable about adding site-specific arguments like this to that function. Maybe we should consider the current behavior correct?

[djstrong]

I think that extracting links with anchor text is basic function, so should be included.

@earwig you're right, the link trail would have to be passed to mwparserfromhell.parse. The maintainability of the parser shouldn't be affected as long as it does not implement any site-specific logic. The link trail is a standard MediaWiki feature, and anyway it would be up to the mwparserfromhell users (or to the maintainers of complementary frameworks such as Pywikibot) to pass the appropriate link trail to the parser.
