Can you explain that in more detail? What do you mean, "rendered inline"?
In the text instead of spirited up to a list at the top of the screen. eg the wikicode:
This [[m:Linking gone mad at meta-wikipedia|link to meta]] is in the text. But [[fr:Liens, liens sans fin|this French one]] isn't.
Ok, that makes sense. I had intended for language links to also be inline, unless they were at the very top of the page (somewhat like with #REDIRECT). Any objections to doing it that way?
WikiName:ArticleTitle is the standard interwiki link syntax; the language codes are just abbreviated forms of the wiki name.
How so? In that case, maybe we should change the syntax from lang:wiki:title to wiki:lang:title? Much easier conceptually, because then you can leave out the language and it will make sense if it's a unilingual wiki
That local namespaces and interwikis both involve some text followed by a colon shouldn't bug us too badly... after all, URLs start the same way! (And we really _should_ allow URL links in the same double-bracket style as wikilinks; newbies try it naturally and get confused when it doesn't work.)
Yes, I am wondering why we use [[]] for wiki links, and [] for URL's proper. Actually, I am not wondering. It is a useful syntactic aid to parsing. If only the pipe '|' syntax for [] was the same as [[]], that would be great. Any objections?
