Install pageforms extension and do

{{#arraymap:{{{Authors|}}}|,|x|[[x]]}}

<nowiki>I want to convert "Hello, There" to 2 links Hello, there, but neither

[[{{#rreplace:Hello, there|,|]],[[}}]]

nor

[[{{#rreplace:Hello, there|(.*),(.*)|$1]],[[$2}}]]

work, and I can't find a way of escaping the brackets in the result <nowiki>

My actual use case was splitting up lists of authors, which is exactly arraymap's first example, so the solution could not be easier! Thanks very much
