An alternative request of this thread: Use /np in middle of message
Instead of putting a keyword to replace it as a text, it might be better to change the way /np works.
I'm sure most of us know how /np works and it only outputs the beatmap regardless of any parameters.
My request is to allow /np to have parameters, outputs as a normal text instead of an action (/me) message.
The beatmap link is added to the end of the parameter like these examples:

- Advantages
- No need for keywords and text replacement.
- Avoids any errors at [link text] or [[wiki]] formats
- Easier and less work for our developers (possible than the alternative one).
- Disadvantages
-
Unable to print out the beatmap link at the middle (e.g. "Play <beatmap> and I'll spectate you")
