> Hover over SoundOFMusic(Disambiguation)

[[The Sound of Music]]  (wikilinks work as expected in bugzilla ;)  
Ah, so the Hovercard there isn't /empty/ - it's just not useful.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:HATTEST
We have a /lot/ of templates, and they're not always used - Editors sometimes
just format the indent+italics manually. 

Every language will have different wording for their template(s), and might
edit it at any time, so we can't use that as a detection method.

There are 2 fairly common CSS classes (dablink and rellink), but again, the
languages vary. I checked a few, and they use a variety of CSS class names, or
no CSS-class at all. Eg. [[fr:Table]], [[et:Laud]], [[nn:Bord]], [[es:Mesa]],
[[gl:Mesa]], [[pl:Stół]], [[de:Tisch]], [[tl:Hapag]], [[uk:Стіл]],
[[he:שולחן]], [[ru:Стол]], [[ms:Meja]], etc. --- Therefor, it's /possible/ to
use this (if we researched & listed all the languages, or convinced them all to
standardize) but not easy.

Lastly, the links-within-the-hatnote are often not targeting a Disambiguation
Page. They often target articles. Eg. [[Abacus]].


Therefor, I still suggest that a translatable string is best. I'd also suggest
that something is generally better than nothing, because Inconsistent Behaviour
should be avoided whenever possible. HTH.
