If a Wiki link includes ( ) in the address they do not work if incorporated in a name link. There are other punctuation symbols that do the same as I discovered when trying to link names to the Olympic projects last year. I have pointed this out before - but it seems that there is no way around it - the links just have to remain as they are

cannot be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Simpson_(journalist) John Simpson] as it will be presented as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Simpson_(journalist) John Simpson
Any thoughts anyone?
