Detail

When refering to a topic in another web the normal syntax to use would be Web.Topic.

If the web name is a WikiWord then the link can break.

For example AfricaMap.Webhome is shown as Main.AfricaMap

-- TWiki:Main/PeterJones - 2012-01-25

This is confirmed. To reproduce:

  • Create topic with WikiWords in the Sandbox web
  • Include that topic into a topic that resides in another web
  • Links get fixed as follows:
    • WebNotify to Sandbox.WebNotify (OK)
    • Main.WebNotify to Main.WebNotify (OK)
    • WikiWordWebName.WebNotify to Sandbox.WikiWordWebName.WebNotify (bug) - expected WikiWordWebName.WebNotify

-- TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny - 2012-01-26

This is now fixed in SVN trunk and TWiki-5.1 branch.
