I've seen this a lot: People write links [[like_this]]. Does anyone have an idea what makes them do this? Is there anything in the way articles are displayed that suggests underscores should be used? Are that many people looking at the browser's status bar, where the underscores are visible?
Probably. Also, some automatically created links (moved pages, usemod-era subpage links) have underscores in them.
Can we do anything to prevent this?
Tell them "don't do that"? It seems overkill to automatically filter input looking for links and replacing underscores with spaces.
