This is a great extension. but hiding the links by default is better IMO and
putting the show link in the sidebar.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 9-Dec-1968
NLS
demo[1], we take pleasure in announcing the release of the Purple
MediaWiki (PMWX) Extension into beta today (9-Dec-2008) as free
and open source software (under the GNU GPL v2 license.)
"Purple Numbers" have their root in the NLS system. They allow
web content to be addressed at a fine granular level (for example
you can point people to a particular paragraph in a web document,
rather than just to a web page) and open up possibilities of
improved navigation, communication, reference, search, semantics
and knowledge support. PMWX enables "Purple Numbers" in MediaWiki
and Semantic MediaWiki implementations, and provides that
fine-grained addressability to wiki contents.
Please refer to details about the Purple MediaWiki (PMWX)
Extension and this release at:

o the PMWX Release Notes:

We invite you to install, try and make use of PMWX, and would
love to get your feedback!
Best regards. =ppy
