[[!tag wishlist blue-sky]] (This isn't important to me - I don't use MediaWiki or Creole syntax myself - but just thinking out loud...) The [[ikiwiki/wikilink]] syntax IkiWiki uses sometimes conflicts with page languages' syntax (notably, [[plugins/contrib/MediaWiki]] and [[plugins/Creole]] want their wikilinks the other way round, like `\[[plugins/write|how to write a plugin]]`). It would be nice if there was some way for page language plugins to opt in/out of the normal wiki link processing - then MediaWiki and Creole could have their own `linkify` hook that was only active for *their* page types, and used the appropriate syntax. In [[todo/matching_different_kinds_of_links]] I wondered about adding a `\[[!typedlink to="foo" type="bar"]]` directive. This made me wonder whether a core `\[[!link]]` directive would be useful; this could be a fallback for page types where a normal wikilink can't be done for whatever reason, and could also provide extension points more easily than WikiLinks' special syntax with extra punctuation, which doesn't really scale? Straw-man: \[[!link to="ikiwiki/wikilink" desc="WikiLinks"]] --[[smcv]]
