At the moment, the addon takes text between the [ and ] braces and turns it into a link to an entry with exactly that title. The same title is shown as the link.
Sometimes it may be desired to have a different title displayed to the actual title of the entry.
For example:
- An entry titled "My favourite cafes" that lists cafes the user has favourited on a site, may wish to show this text in an article "Click to add this cafe to [your favourite cafes]"
- An entry of a news item titled "Minister denies Llama pancake claims" may need to be referenced from another article is "but the minister has previously faced other controversies, including over his [choice of breakfast]."
It would be a useful feature if users could enter the correct page title to be referenced, but then also enter alternative text to be displayed.
This could be achieved with this format:
[Original entry title|Alternative display text]
As mentioned before, suggesting some ideas for extra features. If you feel this would be worthwhile, and once we've hammered out the idea, I'd be happy to work on a pull request.
