[Wikipedia-l] Link Syntax

[Poor, Edmund W]

I agree with using curly braces to hide part a link:

+ put on the [[{One }Ring]]
= put on the [[One Ring|Ring]]
Shown as: put on the _Ring_

We could also use a second pipe character to delineate what we DO WANT TO SHOW, as follows:

+ bought an [[|English| language]] textbook
= bought an [[English language|English]] textbook
Shown as: bought an _English_ textbook

+ put on the [[One |Ring|]]
= put on the [[One Ring|Ring]]
Shown as: put on the _Ring_

+ called [[George |W|. Bush]]
= called [[George W. Bush|W]] during the campaign
Shows as: called _W_ during the campaign

What do you all think?
