When using the Visual Editor to make a bold wikilink italicized, it produces '''[[link|''link'']]''' instead of '''''[[link]]''''' (see this edit). (I highlighted the bold text and pressed CTRL-I.) This syntax is really messy, makes the source text unnecessarily cluttered, and doesn't follow standard wikitext practices. Are the developers working on fixing this? [As an aside, the VE talk interface on this page feels really difficult to use and is missing many functions. I had to navigate to a different page and work in a standard wikitext editor to get the nowiki tags to work correctly and paste into this window.]

Will there be a response to this? Thanks.
Apparently, this is the "correct" way to do it, in terms of wikitext parsing and good HTML. It's not what we're used to, though.
