[Wikipedia-l] Meta-question: wiki links in list/news posts

[Richard Grevers]

I notice that many wikipedians refer to wikipedia pages in these discussion 
groups using wiki markup: e.g. [[this_article]]. That's very cute, but 
highly impractical in terms of actually linking to the article from a 
mail/news client. I usually have to resort to searching, particularly with 
meta pages that I'm not familiar with the url syntaxt of. Would it not be 
much better to paste the full url from the browser in list messages?
