I would just like to point out John Gruber disavowed the []() syntax on Twitter. He even said he would like to accept reverse brackets, since it's such a common problem.

I have been using personal wikis for about a decade, and 99% of the time I make an internal link, I want the caption to be the same as the page name.

I wish that the Markdown standard would just specify to render [[Page]] as [Page](Page).

To be fair, John Gruber has disavowed a lot of modern Markdown features and syntaces, so it's not exactly an authority statement anymore for today's Markdown. It's why CommonMark exists.
