Unfortunately, once the "#1" thing gets done, Github automatically puts a notation on issue #1 (or PR #1 or whatever #1 is) that it was referenced from elsewhere. There is no way to delete these references after the fact. There is an open request for that sort of thing on github: https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1235 There may be a way to do it through the API, but it's not clear that anyone has actually tried it. Previewing comments before clicking the "Comment" button would help to avoid doing this before the confusing references are created, but there's nothing to be done after the fact, it seems. This is bound to happen again, because the information that was pasted in was relevant, and editing every line of it isn't the rational way to deal. Gonna have to be careful in the future to remember to block-quote or code-quote such things. > On Tue, May 07, 2019 at 01:30:14PM -0700, we recorded a bogon-computron > collision of the <[email protected]> flavor, containing: > > We had one Github issue where we had a series of numbers in a comment ( > > https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir/issues/66#issuecomment-486514563 ) like: > > > > #1 blah > > #2 blah blah > > #3 blah blah blah > > > > Those numbers got auto-linked to other things in Github because of the > > hash/number format used.
