I’m not an expert on dewiki, but I assume they still want word-ending links
for simple stuff like [[Gesetz]]e (plural), [[Finger]]s (genitive). I would
guess these cases are still more common than the long compound words where
the <nowiki/> trick is used.

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.

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
