[edit] What?

Moved from en:Wikitravel:Feature requests by Evan

Would it be possible to jig up some Perl to display [[:en:Foo/Bar]] links as just Bar automatically? There's rarely if ever reason for readers to see the first part, and it would make interlinking city articles oh so much easier; it's a real pain to write things like [[:en:Singapore/North & East|North & East]] all the time.

Is this still an issue? I will close this ticket for now. Feel free to raise a new ticket if this problem persists. Riggwelter 10:38, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

This will always be an issue until implemented. Reopening. --Peter ^Talk 17:15, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
