This is a feature request that URLs for internal links that use the external link format (i.e. [one bracket]) do not appear in the printable version of an article. Lately, we have had to use the external link format for footnotes, since: #There is no footnote feature built in to MediaWiki #Normal internal links (with <nowiki>[[two brackets]]</nowiki>) do not allow for automatic numbering If there is an internal link using the external link format of one bracket, then only the number (or link title) should be displayed- not the full URL, as this breaks up the text in the printable version, making it very difficult (and annoying) to read.
That sounds like a hack of a hack of a hack, and doesn't make much sense. Determining what's meant to be "internal" would not be reliable. Instead, please file a bug report for improved footnote support (already filed as bug 192).
