Here's the proposal: On pages whose titles end with (context) in
parentheses, [[ |link]] is interpreted as [[link (context)|link]].
On all pages, [[link (context)| ]] is interpreted that way as well.
All other uses of [[|link]] or [[|link]] are simply interpreted
as [[link]].
That will make fixing all the links in the Middle Earth, Poker,
and other pages much easier, and I don't think it will add any
temptation to over-categorize or cause other problems.
It is an open question whether these links are interpreted at
save-time or render-time; the latter makes things easier I think,
but the former has advantages too.
Let me try to figure out exactly how that would work...
So if we change September_11,_2001_Terrorist Attack/Casualties
to Casualties_(September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack), then to
link to say Missing_(September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack) on the Casualties
page we write [[|Missing]], which is rendered as
<a
href="Missing_(September_11,_2001_Terrorist_Attack)">Missing</a>.
If we didn't move the page, we could also add this functionality
so that on pages with a / the same thing happens, so that
on September_11,_2001_Terrorist Attack/Casualties, a link to
[[|Missing]] would go to September_11,_2001_Terrorist Attack/Missing.
Any of this would make life easier...
