Hmm...

{{information|Author=The [[Artist]]}}

could (per template) become

[table stuff]
<div id='information_author'>The <a href="Artist'>Artist</a><div>
<div id='information_source_author' style='display:none'>The [[Artist]]</div>
[clickable element]
[/table stuff]

where [clickable element] would, upon click,
* change the 'information_author' div into a textarea, containing
'information_source_author', and OK/cancel buttons
* on OK, get the page source, replace "author=The [[Artist]]" with
"author=[new wiki text]", store it via EditPage.js
* update page display

This could apply to other parts of the article text, not just template
parameters. {{editinline|stuff}}, anyone?

Cheers,
Magnus
