--- Comment #46 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> ---
"people won't expect the non-button things"

That will be true for some people, but it's not a problem caused by this
change.

"And once someone does figure it out and shares the knowledge, then the
expectation in general will change and that will just result in more confusion
when dealing with other, normal, buttons."

I just don't think that's likely.  People informed enough to use the link
behavior are less likely to get confused that way.  As Mike indicates, this is
already available on English Wikipedia, and the current version looks like a
button (though not a jQuery UI one).

No one has told me it confused them (or someone else) about other buttons.  

There are a few other buttons used in a similar way (getting public info
through making choices than hitting a button) on MediaWiki, but they're mostly
on special pages.

This is the only one I can think of that's critical to people's workflows.
