If we want to maintain the pretense that ordinary articles should be reasonably accessible to edit, I'd suggest that using <a> is probably a better choice than extending the wikilink syntax.

Just my two cents. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
