We're talking here about creating links as <a href=Foo>Fooian</a>, and whether or not they convert to "smart" wikitext ([[Foo]]ian) or to the more boring form ([[Foo|Fooian]]). We're not talking about automatic changes - if the link hasn't been edited, it shouldn't be changed. I don't think that the style of wikitext that people create using the VisualEditor (as opposed to not breaking others' wikitext) is hugely important, but if you want that to be a specific change, you could create a new bug for Parsoid (which is responsible for the HTML->wikitext conversion). This is specifically about creating a link (to whatever target) on some selection of part of a word, which then on being saved is converted unintentionally. I.e.: Automobile -> <a href=Automatic>Auto</a>mobile -> [[Automatic|auto]]mobile … whereas it should end up somehow as [[Automatic|auto]]<nowiki />mobile, or we should stop users for creating it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
