I just saw the other post with [[algebra]]ic. I could easily make it a rule that ''upon pressing the Save button'' on the edit page, all "[[foobar]]xyz" occurrences would become "[[foobar|foobarxyz]]". That would include "]]ic", "]]s", "]]es", etc. Opinions?
Against. I've found occasional good uses for "prefix[[snafu]]suffix" that I don't want to lose - for instance it is possible to say [[peace]]fully or [[peace|peacefully]] and they link to the same page. But an adjective or adverb as a link doesn't look right in an encyclopedia context.
IMHO there's far too much talk about letting the software do all the work lately ...
