https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grafikus_matroid&diff=prev&oldid=20406147 illustrates another use: separating - and { in the unusual case where this string is wanted and you *don't* want language converter markup. ie `-<nowiki/>{foo}-` is different from `-{foo}-`. You don't usually notice this because languageconversion is disabled in many wikis, but it can cause problems if unbalanced syntax is used inside a template argument, like: `{{foo|-{bar}}`. Here you need to use `{{foo|-<nowiki/>{bar}}`, even if LanguageConverter is not enabled.
Amir -- in german, shouldn't they be tweaking the "linktrail" setting on dewiki, instead of using `<nowiki/>`? What are cases where they *do* want the link to include the entire word? Can they be automatically distinguished? --scott On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 11:17 AM Bináris <wikipo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is a list of removals. :-) > > https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1lis:Szerkeszt%C5%91_k%C3%B6zrem%C5%B1k%C3%B6d%C3%A9sei/BinBot&offset=20180912205000&target=BinBot&limit=28 > > > Amir E.
