I have the text snippet: südpfälzische Dialekte|südpfälzischen Dialekte selected, and want to enclose it in double square brackets using the "insert link" button (which unnecessaraily loads an extra subwindow, and unnecessarily makes me click an OK button in it) but I get an error message saying something like "malformed link" and have the OK button grayed. Why? There is nothing wrong with the link. When I entered [[ ]] manually, I got what was intended and it worked.
It's doing this because "foo|bar" is not a valid title. You meant to create a link to "foo" with text "bar"; the current way to do this with the dialog is to write "foo", select that, open the dialog and change the link text there.
I hate all this unnecessary complicated stuff. We had a button doing exatly the service I want in the old editing interface. (I don't object adding possibilities, even adding "Are you sure" & "... damn sure?" popups as users want them, but I want simple things simple, and not loose good working functionality)
Unassigning default assignments. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/54734
Still valid, but lowest priority. Moving to WikiEditor.
