Needlessly piped redirects

This is a quite nice and useful template, which creates links. Has anyone noticed that some of the created links have needless pipes which redirect?

After the name of any programming language, this template adds the string " (programming language)". Often this creates a direct link, but often it creates a needless pipe (per WP:NOPIPE) which points to a redirect.

Examples of links that are piped and direct:

• [[C (programming language)|C]]
• [[Python (programming language)|Python]]

Examples of links that are needlessly piped and redirecting:

• [[C++ (programming language)|C++]]. Instead, the unpiped direct link is [[C++]].
• [[Perl (programming language)|Perl]]. Instead, the unpiped direct link is [[Perl]].

Someone who knows how to code templates may want to adjust this.

Thank you and good day. Jerryobject (talk) 06:31, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
