Are WikiWords "restricted" to the Space where > they are created? Do sub-pages influence WikiWords in any way? Indeed this is a current limitation. When a wikiword is recognized the link that is automatically created points to the current space. There's no searching in the whole wiki for links that would exist with the same name. That would be possible to do based on the backlinks that we store in the DB but there would be a few issues: * It would slow down the wikiword feature a lot, unless we store all links in memory * We would need somehow to handle the case where there are several pages named the same but in different spaces You could open a jira issue about this if you want. ATM if you need to reference a page in another space you'll need to use the wiki syntax for it, i.e. [[OtherSpace.<WikiWord>]] (in XWiki Syntax 2.0+).
