Most people know of the pipe trick with wikisyntax - typing [[Article name (modifier)]] displays as _Article name (modifier)_; typing it [[Article name (modifier)|]] - ie, with a single | character but no alternate text - is converted into [[Article name (modifier)|Article name]], displaying as _Article name_
How difficult would it be to adapt the wikisyntax such that [[|Namespace:Article name]] or [[Namespace:Article name||]] is converted into [[Namespace:Article name|Article name]]? I've noticed this a few times before, often when linking to Wikipedia policy pages or cats - not quite as useful a shortcut as the pipe trick, but it'd be handy to have.
Um, that's already the case? I don't know how long it's been around, but that definitely works.
