So, two forum parsing suggestions. The first one is minor and is probably oversight, but could be a huge pain in the ass to fix. The second one is more major, but actually might be the easier one to implement.

Minor - Emoticons parse before links

If I do this: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/File:Dyna...u_Monsters.jpg
Code:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/File:Dynamis_-_Buburimu_Monsters.jpg
It tries to link to: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Fileynamis-Buburimu_Monsters.jpg

That's just dumb. There's no point where I'll want to link an emoticon abbreviation. The parsing order should be reversed in every case. I don't care if the raw link ends up looking dumb and having a smiley face where it should have a colon and D, but it needs to link to the right place.




Major - Parse [[Something]] as https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Something

This would increase the integration of the wiki with the forums and teach people the most basic wiki code. The wiki is rising in popularity again, and this change would make it by far the easiest source to reference in discussions about game stuff. Honestly, BG is the only active endgame forum worth talking about. You can monopolize all the endgame wiki stuff (and thus new content) with this change.

No one uses double square brackets for other stuff anyway.
