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?
