Most people know of the pipe trick with wikisyntax -
typing [[Article

[[Article name (modifier)|]] - ie, with a single | character but no
alternate text - is converted into [[Article name (modifier)|Article
name]], displaying as _Article name_
How difficult would it be to adapt the wikisyntax such that
[[|Namespace:Article name]] or [[Namespace:Article name||]] is
converted into [[Namespace:Article name|Article name]]? I've noticed
this a few times before, often when linking to Wikipedia policy pages
or cats - not quite as useful a shortcut as the pipe trick, but it'd
be handy to have.
Um, that's already the case? I don't know how long it's been around,
but that definitely works.
