URL linking problems |
||
Line 49:
:I believe that the current software is actively unlinking URLs like that. I edited a page that had an external link in it of the form you describe above, just a bare URL, and even though I didn't touch the external URL in question it came up unlinked after the edit. Try it out; find a page with an existing external link, edit it, and the link will be gone in the new version. This doesn't apply to links using the syntax <nowiki>[http://yaddayadda.com/etcetera name of link here]</nowiki>, however. Those remain intact through an edit.

::This only seems to happen under some circumstances; I've seen it in some articles, but I can't for the life of me reproduce it in [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]]. I think it may be already fixed under the current development version (where I can't reproduce it even by exactly copying Marj's user page). [[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]], Monday, May 20, 2002
