You know what would make writing unambiguous links easier? I'd like to say "[[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]]" without repeating "Mercury". Would it work to have a feature such that, say, "[[Mercury]](planet)" (with no space) produces that effect?
That would be cool. Or simply have the software, by default ignore anything in parenthesis and only display the non-parenthetical term: So that [[Mercury (planet)]] is displayed as simply <u>Mercury</u>. Or if this is deemed inappropriate default behavior, maybe add just the | and/or ~, * or whatever to turn this feature on: [[Mercury (planet)|*]] yields <u>Mercury</u>.
Alleviating the tedium of making links to parenthetical titles would be most useful.
