Requirements

Input Wikitext Example:

This is a text with an [[internal link]] and an [https://openstreetmap.org external link].

**Expected Output:**

```<translate>This is a text with an [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/internal link</tvar> internal link]] and an [<tvar name="2">https://openstreetmap.org</tvar> external link].</translate>
