No.

Yes.
Actually, on the MediaWiki question, it *would*
theoretically be
possible to just ignore all attempted formatting within [[Article]] or
[[Category:]] links wouldn't it? Since we don't support formatting in
page names (and are unlikely to with that syntax anytime soon), it
seems conceivable that [[Category:Foo''bar]] should take that name
literally and not attempt to interpret it as italics, which wouldn't
work anyway...
Theoretically, but links and bold/italics are handled on separate parser passes.
Things get ugly... :)
