I'll accept the pipe - however, I see less clear precedent for putting
the page title before the link text.
In general, 25 wikis on WikiMatrix support labeled links:
||Page Title, Link Text ||Link Text, Page Title ||Both
| 16 | 8 | 1
Although I'll admit the bulk of the precedent (including both MediaWiki
and TWiki) use the page title followed by the link text, I think this at
least shows that there's a debate. (By the way, Confluence is among the
wikis that give link text followed by the page title.)
Again, I tend to favor the idea of using the syntax:
{{{ [[Text | Target Page]] }}}
I think it more closely imitates the intuitive thought process of a
link; the text links to the page, so the target of the link is secondary
information to the text of the link.

I use JSPWiki primarily at work and I tend to always want to put the link first (because I want to link to something) and then describe what it means. I also remember [Janne Jalkanen] saying that he would change that order if he had the chance now and at the time he was just blindly following [PhpWiki] syntax. In any case, twice as many engines use PageTitle, then Description, including [MediaWiki], so I still think we should stick to this order. Also, if for some reason you cut and paste in HTML, you can just ditch the extra stuff around it to make the link instead of also having to also change the order in the wiki syntax.
