Weaving a link to the first word (or portion) of a step breaks auto-embolden for the rest of the step. The work-around, of course, is to ‘’’ wikimarkup the rest of the step’’’. A {{kbd|xxx.xxx}} template in the emboldened part of a step terminates the text displayed by the template at the full stop (period). A flaky work-around is subscripted mid dot (·). If anyone knows of a better work-around, please share it with the community.

Yeah, the auto-formatting doesn’t always play nicely with templates and links
Agreed on the ‘’’ mark-up being the easy solution for links. I think the issue is just that it assumes the link punctuation is regular punctuation (which is the regular cut-off). Hard to distinguish context there - not sure if there’s an easy solution for that. Well, there is, but it’s putting in the manual mark-up, hah
I asked Carston about the kbd thing, and played around a little bit myself, and we didn’t find a fix for it - tried nowiki and using “full” template text ( {{kbd|1=your text}} ), but it didn’t want to bow down. Must be some kind of incompatibility between our formatting and the imported Wikipedia templates. Bummer! If anyone finds a workaround, it’d be great to know. In the meantime, your mid dot is a good idea - or just avoiding its use in the very first sentence of a step. Silly templates!
