Not a bug as originally reported. If you want to report a problem with nested brackets or documentation, open a new bug.

It does not work properly when brackets are nested. see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AAndreasJS%2Ftest&diff=1... Also, the documentation is incomplete, the -exceptinsidetag keywords are not explained. Here they are:
comment: between '<!--' and '-->' includeonly: between '<includeonly>' and '</includeonly>' math: between '<math>' and '</math>' noinclude: between '<noinclude>' and '</noinclude>' nowiki: between '<nowiki>' and '</nowiki>' (wiki tags are ignored inside nowiki tags) pre: between '<pre>' and '</pre>' (preformatted text) source: between '<source ' and '</source>' (inline references) ref: between '<ref[ >]' and '</ref>' timeline: between '<timeline>' and '</timeline>' startspace: lines that start with a space table: within a table template: between '{{' and '}}' (cascaded up to level 3, but no deeper) hyperlink: gallery: between '<gallery' and '</gallery>' link: within internal wikilinks, but also interwiki, categories, and images

(please disregard my previous comment) using the parameter -exceptinsidetag:link solves this problem.

This is as intended because it might be that it is the interwikis or the images that you want to change. It is recommended that you do not run replace.py in unattended mode, this is a very dangerous bot. Somebody could add an option not to change anything betwenn [[...]] or {{{...}}, but this might be a lot of work because the brackets might be nested. Any takers?

The same question for images, like this: http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=De_goddelijke_komedie&diff=pre...
