            Bug ID: 67224
           Summary: Hovercards: Links to titles with parentheses should
                    also bold non-parenthesized text in extract
           Product: MediaWiki extensions

Parentheses are almost always used in an article title to disambiguate. They
are not commonly used in that way within the article itself. A popup for the
title should highlight the undisambiguated title without the (disambiguation)
component.

Example: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:NordicFuzzCon_staff
The hovercard for the title "Lightfox (Sweden)" does not have bolded text
because within the article itself the subject is referred to only as
"Lightfox".

The space before the parentheses should be trimmed off for this comparison,
because it may be replaced with punctuation (this is not currently handled
generally, which is be a separate bug).

Because it *is* possible for a parentheses to be part of an title that would be
in the text, the search should be both for text with and without the
parenthesis.
