E.g.:
- {{WP|Jock Brandis}} developed the {{WP|Malian peanut sheller}}.

Bug(s):
- Unlike normal wiki linking, you cannot add letters at the end of the word, e.g. to make it plural. E.g. normally [[Blog]]s creates Blogs, but {{WP|Blog}}s creates Blog (WP)s i.e. a mess.
- Currently doesn't allow piping (but it should be doable to create another template to do this).
Unresolved questions:
- should we use <tt> (teletype text?) to subtly mark the link text (making it clear whether it's the last word that's linked, or the last 2 or more words)?
- should we use <small> for the "WP"? If so it seems a bit too small for some readers perhaps, and thus confusing; if left as normal size it's a little intrusive perhaps, but quite clear.
