I'm not sure why anyone would associate link trail behavior with the presence or lack
of a pipe character. The defining characteristic of link trails is text being adjacent to
"]]", as far as I know.
Yeah, currently there is a link trail with "[[Example]]s", but I neither
consider this intuitive nor helpful. If I specify target and link text separately, why
would I want a link trail? I could write it as part of the target instead. I think for
most people writing something like [[Examples|Example]]s is the first thing they try to
avoid link trails. In my opinion, link trailing doesn't make anything easier if target
and link text are specified separately. To be clear: I propose to change the current
parser behavior to avoid unwanted link trails.
Is the particular case you mention common? It seems
like it would be much more common for a user to simply write "[[Examples]]"
currently to achieve the same output.
As the case I mentioned shouldn't be common and clearly more complicated as needed, I
think a behavior change wouldn't have that much impact.
