Automatically turn a link to [[Topic:UUID]] into a human-readable link
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

This idea comes from a request filed by Gryllida: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69041

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

  1. Type [[Topic:Rzejr3i6mbiosvh4]]

Expected result:
Some means to automatically convert the link's display text to the topic title

Actual result:
Link's display text is "Topic:Rzejr3i6mbiosvh4"

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

This is a good idea -- let's talk about whether it's possible.
