You're right, I had never noticed this or
didn't recall it...
I've checked the code and found where we do this conversion (it's in
XWikiLinkFilter.java, line 206 and 213 FWIW).
The easy solution is to write: [SamplePage>SamplePage].
Now if you really to change the behavior, you'd need to do the
following:
1) Create a class that extends XWikiLinkFilter.java and overrides the
protected String getWikiView(String name) method. You can make it
return name directly.
2) modify the META-INF/services/com/xpn/xwiki/render/filter/
XWikiFilter file and replace XWikiFilter by the name of your class
3) compile your class (you'll need the xwiki core JAR in WEB-INF/lib/
xwiki-core-*.jar) and copy it in WEB-INF/classes (or get xwiki sources
from SVN and rebuild the core with your class).
Hope it helps,
