Well, I'm not, and that is a horrid misinterpretation of what I said.

Lots of wikis have templates that simplify piped links. Like "Ep" that just allows you to easily link to pages that are called "Whatever (episode)". It doesn't create a mess in source code, and functionality can be easily deduced from context. Or you can just write a good documentation. The purpose of templates is to replace certain oft-reused pieces of wikitext to create less code in the source code, and easier design changes across the wiki.

Understood. I would still want to replace the names by bot with a more verbose name, but that would be my personal preference. Can you point me to such a wiki that uses this kind of system, so I can take a look for myself?
