What I want:
- In the Reply or New Discussoin Tool's visual mode @-mention Peter.
- Remove the @ symbol.
- Edit the link (e.g., turn @[[User:Ppelberg (WMF)|Ppelberg (WMF)]] into [[User:Ppelberg (WMF)|Peter]])
- Remove the link (e.g., turn @[[User:Ppelberg (WMF)|Peter]] into Peter)
What's happening now:
- Works
- Can't do it
- Can't do it
- Can't do it

Copied from T276143 for convenience:
This is sometimes awkward, if you know that an editor would prefer being addressed by a different name (e.g., because the old username is kind of joke-y and you're talking about a serious subject).
This is also important for languages that decline nouns: "Jmenuje se Dangit" (He is Dangit) but "Dangite, jak vytvořím šablonu?" (Dangit, how can I create a template?).
