de.tudarmstadt.ukp.wikipedia.parser.Link.getText may return empty string

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 96

I noticed that when a page has categories as follows, getText() will return an empty
string. Take for example, the 'Anarchism' page. It has six categories defined in its
wikitext:
[[Category:Anarchism| ]]
[[Category:Political culture]]
[[Category:Political ideologies]]
[[Category:Social theories]]
[[Category:Anti-fascism]]
[[Category:Greek loanwords]]

The following code 
for (Link link : page.getCategories()) {
  System.out.println(">" + link.getText() + "<");
}

will print:
><
>Category:Political culture<
>Category:Political ideologies<
>Category:Social theories<
>Category:Anti-fascism<
>Category:Greek loanwords<

Note the first line. We get an empty text because the string after the | character
is empty.

I suggest that in such a case, we return the category "target" itself or the target
without the "Category:" string.

Thanks for the report. I will look into it and make the suggested change.

However, be aware that as of the next release of JWPL, the parser will not be supported
any more. It has been moved into its own module.
We will still apply patches provided by the community, but we will not develop the
parser any further.
We now use the Sweble parser (www.sweble.org), which we also integrated into JWPL Core.
