I want link wiki-page to issue text.

[]() syntax links into issues pool.

[[text|page]] doesn't work.

How to do it?

You can also use relative paths. Here's an example from one of my projects:

[Using-a-Shell-Configuration-File](../wikis/Using-a-Shell-Configuration-File)

I prefer this approach to full paths, since it's not impossible that you might rename a project or transfer ownership to someone else, and so break any absolute references to parts of the repo.
