What would also be nice is the extend the pipe trick for comma titles. IMO to follow the logic of your proposed change [[Auburn, California]] would automatically become [[Auburn, California | Auburn]] but that may brake many links that already intend to display the whole link name. So just to make linking easier for at least those in the know perhaps [[Auburn, California | ]] could be displayed as just <u>Auburn</u> but in the wiki code it could still be [[Auburn, California | ]] so that newbies can figure out the trick. Yeah I know this would be inconsistent with the proposed change in how the pipe trick works with parentheticals but it is still tedious to type [[Auburn, California | Auburn]] all the time.

Violates the principle of least surprise, in my arrogant opinion. A naive attempt to link to [[20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]] would show up in the displayed article as <u>20</u>? A link to [['Night, Mother]] would display as <u>'Night</u>?
I think a lot of newbies would conclude that the Wikipedia is broken. -- Sean Barrett | Aw, Mom, you act like I'm not even sean@epoptic.com | wearing a bungee cord! --Calvin
