 * link text
 * The link text can be the name of an interface message (page in the MediaWiki namespace) or plain text.
 * If the link text is the name of an existing or default interface message, the content of that message will be used. MediaWiki will check for localized versions; for example, if the current language is fr (French) and the link text is the interface message "forum", it will check for "forum/fr" before using "forum".
 * Otherwise, the link text is used as the target as-is.
 * Notice that the link text is not optional as in normal wiki links. If the link text is missing, the item is ignored.
