+               //  The feature was added because we liked adding [[$1]] in our log entries
+               //  but the log entries are parsed as Wikitext on RecentChanges but as HTML
+               //  on Special:Log. The hack is essentially that [[$1]] represented a link
+               //  to the title in question. The first parameter to the HTML version (Special:Log)
+               //  is that link in HTML form, and so this just gets rid of the ugly [[]].
+               //  However, this is a horrible hack and it doesn't work like you expect if, say,
+               //  you want to link to something OTHER than the title of the log entry.
