--- Comment #3 from Chris McKenna <[email protected]> ---
English Wikipedia user comments that the current behaviour of the input widget
is not intuitive at all:

"I clicked the link tool while not focused on any text, to try and add a new
link. I got a largely empty box with no instructions, and the next word in the
article highlighted within the box.  I fiddled with it a few times, and still
don't know if typing in the box A. changes the text of the link. B. allows me
to select more words. C. Changes what is linked to, or D. is followed by
another, nearly identical box for a secondary function"

To me this is further evidence that we need two boxes: one to enter the link
target and one to enter the link display text. The second box would default to
the same as the link for internal links and for external links either (ideally)
the page title or (less ideally but probably easier) the filename sans
extension. 

This would also fix Bug 50945 and Bug 51438 (if the latter is distinct from the
former)
