Description:
STR:
0) Start writing a message in an article (such as RFC) or in a Flow thread

  1. Type [[Topic:Rzejr3i6mbiosvh4]]

Expected result:

  1. Some means to automatically convert the link's display text to the topic title

Actual result:

  1. Link's display text is "Topic:Rzejr3i6mbiosvh4"

(from merged task T113230: Cite a topic title by using a magic word)
When you want to quote a topic, you can create a link to this topic. Сунприат suggests to create a magic word which will display topic title in the text.
Example : {{Topic:Spbw1hvvrt474nb3}} may display "Request: magic word for the topic".

Sunpriat comments:

The second parameter {{Topic:123|subtitle}} could be specify the === subtitle ===.

Rationale:

  1. To avoid me having to switch tabs twice to copy-paste the URL and the topic title separately.

[New functionality => severity=enhancement]

That's a good idea; thanks for posting this. I put it in the backlog so the team can talk about how that might be done.

Suggested approach:

[[Topic:Rzejr3i6mbiosvh4]]

could become:

"<a href="...">Needs references</a>" on Talk:Earth.

Quiddity set Security to None.
