ave the pipe character for cases where the link name & display name are completely different. how about reversing: }{ so it's always anything that's on the "belly" side of a { or } thats hidden
+ 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

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?
