Description WhatamIdoing 2014-08-17 00:56:01 UTC
What I started with was a link to a disambiguation page:

  Foo bar [[CML]] baz bat.


What I wanted was a link to a real article, so I repointed the link:

  Foo bar [[chronic myelogenous leukemia|CML]] baz bat.


Hmm, that initialism doesn't appear to be expanded anywhere on the page.  Okay, what we need is:

  Foo bar [[chronic myelogenous leukemia]] baz bat.


So I copied the long name out of the link tool's field, and pasted it into the middle.  It produced:

  Foo bar [[chronic myelogenous leukemia|CM]]chronic myelogenous leukemia[[chronic myelogenous leukemia|L]] baz bat.

None of this would have been so difficult if we could edit labels in the link tool, in a separate box.

This is because of bug 48720. Grumble.
