At the moment, when one puts the first part of a word between [[square brackets]], the word as a whole will become a link. Although I like that as a general principle, I think it would be good to have an opportunity to escape this, and give a possibility to have only the 'zoo' in [[zoo]]keeper be linking. This would especially be useful in a language like German, where complex terms are often formed by stringing words together into a single word, rather than in a sequence of words as is usual in English.
I think that having a link in only part of a word would look hideously ugly! I noticed yesterday that someone had written "sub[[genre]]" in an article ([[High fantasy]]), and that only part of the word had become a link. I changed it to "[[Genre|subgenre]]". It looks much nicer now. :)
I also think it looks ugly when only *part* of a name, book title, etc. is linked, or when there is a link within a heading. Is that just me...?
