--converts text with wikilinks to plain text, e.g "[[foo|gah]] is [[bar]]" to "gah is bar"
--also strips out files

	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[File:.-%]%]', '') --strip out files
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[.-|', '') --strip out piped link text
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[', '') --then strip out remaining [ and ]
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%]', '')
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%s+', ' ') --need to strip duplicate spaces, as removing file leaves an extra space after it
