Thanks for looking into this, the changes here look good to me. A few quick comments below.
Separately, I have put together a proper discord markdown parser for uses elsewhere in the bot and I'm starting to integrate that. At some point it might make sense to try to use that for the wiki code too.

I don't know of any markdown dialects that let you escape \ within code. Github and discord don't so I don't think this is something we should try to support.

If a ` is unterminated generally it'd make sense to continue substituting through the rest of the string

| * - the `consumed_length` within the original string (may be zero). | ||

It's unfortunate to need this but understandable

In essence, this PR makes the
ArticleParserfully aware of masked link syntax. This is absolutely necessary to have reference-style masked links around code blocks. The current approach is to simply partition a line like... into pieces, separated by backticks for inline code. This is broken because the last part of the line is
][ref], which is not recognized as a masked link.Additionally, this PR makes it possible to add "self-contained reference-stye links", i.e.
[mask], which is equivalent to[mask][mask].
