Re: [Wikitech-l] Suggested change

Hi, some time ago I asked whether we should start using the MediaWiki namespace for bars of links that recur on several articles; take, for example, the list of links at the bottom of each Greek letter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta). As far as I remember, it was said that the problem would be that we would get a large number of self-links. My suggestion to solve that problem was to have {{msg:}} automatically change [[blahblah]] to '''blahblah''' when it is inserted into the page "blahblah". I have attempted to code this, and I came up with the following. This patch has the side-effect of changing all self-links to bold text, even when they're not inserted using {{msg:}}.
