[Mediawiki-l] how to show {{displaytitle}} for links

[Gurmeet]

Because this is the way it is from the beginning. Moreover, this 
'What is MediaWiki' thing I used was just an example. The only thing I'm trying to accomplish is that if alternate text is given to the link, 
the alternate text is used, otherwise the title which was set using 
DISPLAYTITLE magic word is used.
