-- 1. If a piped link, change the second part appropriately. Collapse the
-- link to a simple link if both parts end up the same.
-- 2. If a non-piped link, singularize the link.
-- 3. A link like "[[parish]]es" will be handled correctly because the
-- code that checks for -shes etc. allows ] characters between the
-- 'sh' etc. and final -es.
