I just updated and encountered a construct I haven't seen before.

Normally, I see a "mention" as a square-bracket designation, followed by the template for mentioned:

Flash

However, in this issue, mentions of characters were constructed differently, as a "{{mentioned|", similar to a normal appearance.

{{mentioned|Superman}}

The first method is more common, so I'm going to presume that is the preferred method.

Other than syntax, are there any other differences between the two methods?

Thanks.

P.S. I hope readers understand what I'm saying ... the examples I used actually get changed into links.
