fix broken links
*In a preview, the rendering of the result already shows up in the preview itself, but the conversion is not yet shown in the edit box (save and press Edit again to see the result of the conversion in the edit box, and to edit it):
**<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> produces e.g. [[User:Patrick|Patrick]] 10:58, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC). This is a [[piped link]] to the user page and the UTC time and date, for use on [[help:talk page|talk page]]s. An alternative link label (nickname) can be set in the [[Preferences#User data.2C_search.2C_etc.|User Data section of the preferences]]. The feature can even be used to create an additional link to the user talk page, etc. See also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages]Signatures] and [[Help:Editing#Links, URLs]].
***Additionally, there are:
****<nowiki>~~~</nowiki> giving [[User:Patrick|Patrick]]
**extra ''lines'' of text (not extra text on the same line) after a [[help:redirect|redirect]] are automatically deleted
*In a preview, the conversion is already shown, even in the edit box:
**in MediaWiki projects which use [[whttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-8859/IEC_8859-1|ISO-8859-1]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding character encoding]] (the English, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish Wikipedia), special characters that are not available in the limited character set are automatically converted to their decimal numeric codes on Preview or Save.
**in the Esperanto Wikipedia, a character like Ŝ is automatically converted into the alternative notation Sx, because in some browsers it may not display in the edit box, even if it displays in the webpage (and Sx, whether resulting from this conversion or just typed, is rendered as Ŝ)
