I'm really not an expert on German. However, I have been slowly analyzing common trails in some other languages with purpose of doing smarter link trailing some day. It's a very crazy and long term pet project :) In theory, I could do it for German, too.

https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grafikus_matroid&diff=prev&am... illustrates another use: separating - and { in the unusual case where this string is wanted and you *don't* want language converter markup. ie `-<nowiki/>{foo}-` is different from `-{foo}-`. You don't usually notice this because languageconversion is disabled in many wikis, but it can cause problems if unbalanced syntax is used inside a template argument, like: `{{foo|-{bar}}`. Here you need to use `{{foo|-<nowiki/>{bar}}`, even if LanguageConverter is not enabled.
Amir -- in german, shouldn't they be tweaking the "linktrail" setting on dewiki, instead of using `<nowiki/>`? What are cases where they *do* want the link to include the entire word? Can they be automatically distinguished? --scott

Thanks. Can you please give some particular examples?

<nowiki>This sentence shows the template used at the end.{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole
sentence|date=October

However, <nowiki> has less trivial use cases, that are not quite
the
same
as demonstrating wiki syntax. One such usage I'm aware of is
linking
a
part
of a long compound German word, for example "[[Schnee]]<nowiki
/>reichtum".
It produces the desired effect, however it is a bit of a hack: the
word
"nowiki" doesn't have anything to do with dividing compound words.
This
use
is quite common in the German Wikipedia because of the nature of
the
German
language, which has a lot of long compound words.
We have a lot of them in Hungarian Wikipedia, and we have just
decided
to
eradicate them, because this is a non-desired effect. :-) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
