#437 Allow [[link]s] and [[link (disambig)|]] links

[Olathe]

It would be nice if I could type [[article]s] or
[un[intelligent]ly] and have Wikipedia interpret it as
[[article|articles]] and [[intelligent|unintelligently]]. This
would solve the complaints of people who find [[article]]s
ugly in the final output and [[article|articles]] ugly and
too long in the source.

It would also be nice if [[link (disambig)|]] wasn't
changed in the source to [[link (disambig)|link]]. This
ruins any opportunity for new Wikipedians to learn about
that link trick, and it clutters up the article source.

Trying to work out what olathe means here - perhaps moving
from [[ab]]c to [[ab]c]? That seems a trifle... odd.

Being able to to a[[bc]] might be useful, yes, but I think
it might break lots of things to introduce it this late,
unless there's a program run off-line on the DB to make sure
there's whitespace or an otherise breaking character before
every [[...

As to auto-conversion of the pipe-trick, well, maybe, but
the whole point is to reduce the size of the page, both to
type and to edit, and increase clarity, so...

Dont you find [[article]s] uglier than [[article]]s ?

The mediawiki software can be set to have text before [[
prepended to the text link:
un[[intelligent]]ly will then become <a
href="./intelligent">unintelligently</a>
Change function linkPrefixExtension() in langage.php so it
return true instead of default false. Also the [a[b]c] will
certainly link B as an external url...

I do agree that [[link (disamb)|]] should stay as it and not be
expanded.
