I think the recommendation should say whether the text description of the URL must be all on one line or not. -- AlexSchroeder
Should creole support recognition of url's without markup as links? Example: if there is http://www.wikicreole.org it would become a link without having to put markup around it. I think it would be useful - intiuitive and less typing.
I just edited wikiohana.net an realized how hard the current order of "link first, description last" is to read in wikitext:

For people that read from left to right the last one is much better. Most or all of the western world I guess. What's the earth population percentage of people reading from right to left? I have no clue. Are the Chinese reading from right to left? hebrew does. Anyway...
What about changing this? -> from descr to [descr|link] in case left to right readers are the majority?
