`  == Dab for Leon ==  In your edit] to Leon, i escaped my initial confusion over the unchanged length, and realized that ``shorten linked text`` does accurately describe moving the corresponding square brackets closer to each other! [blush] On the other hand, i still prefer my version of one of those two entries, and of the other, where another editor may have imitated my syntax. I have always construed the current (or at least recent) MoSDab language on piping links to sections as motivated (whether explicitly i don't recall) by the Principle of least astonishment, and i have thus made a point to mention both the article and section titles in the pipe-text, to lessen the likelihood that either the article title or the positioning of the window in the middle of the page will seem odd, and thus invite the distracting question ``Did i just follow another goddam 'Net-casual unhelpful link?`` I suppose a long text on the lk is itself somewhat odd, but IMO it is valuable and thus explains the length by its clarifying power, even before/without making the jump: this link is to text not simply about chameleon fic-chars or the Star Fox series, but about a chameleon fic-char in the Star Fox series.  Realistically or not, i also hope for that specificity to reassure slightly the user who may be frustrated with inappropriate WP Dab lks (often placed by IP ed'rs) like : * Leon, a character in the video game Star Ocean 2  in spite of the article having too little info to justify wading thru a 'pedia article rather than a dictionary or glossary entry, and often (as with the Star Ocean example) failing to even mention the term being dab'd.  I'd welcome the opportunity to weigh your reasoning for your contrary approach. • `
