Comment (by junosque55):
Did some further testing. Behaviour for Scenario 2 is different when
saved. Mediawiki does not convert a URL with Linkname being the same as
URL into numbered links.
Suggestion still holds, as a potential new feature which allows better
control of "numbered links" considering this is a rich text editor to
potentially ease the non-techheads in using wikis. tx
Replying to [comment:2 junosque55]:
> I do not think this is a mediawiki issue. It's more how FCK handles the
default treatment of an URL input. Just suggesting that this will enhance
the usability of the FCKEditor by defaulting to something more relevant.
I'll rephrase the situation for clarity:
>
> With FCKEditor today there are 2 situations that happens today.
>
> '''Scenario 1 :''' When you type a URL string http://url.url, it auto
converts to wiki code as [http://url.url]. There is no default linkname
provided and the auto insertion of the [ ] brackets caused this to result
in a numbered link e.g. [1] based on wiki codings. Main reason - the lack
of a linkname.
>
> '''Scenario 2 :''' When you copy'n'paste a URL of http://url.url into
fckeditor, the treatment is different again. It converts to
[http://url.url http://url.url]. It uses the URL as the linkname. This
also converts to a numbered link e.g. [1] based on wiki codings. Main
reason - linkname is the same as URL.
>
> '''Suggestion'''
> General behaviour of users when insert URL strings into editors were
expecting to see the URL being hyperlinked, with the URL being the
linkname. Mediawiki supports that today by simply not encapsulating the
URL in [ ] brackets. FCKeditors defaults to converting all links to
numbered links by inserting the [ ] for every URL inserted or
copy'n-pasted in. There is no way to control whether a user prefers the
link to be numbered or to display the URL as the linkname.
>
> Suggest to disable to auto-encapsulating of URL within [ ], and instead,
under the triggered hyperlink pop-up window, create a checkbox or button
for "Numbered link".
