Hypen generates wikilink

Posted:17 Jul 2008 (09:38 UTC)
(:question:)Why is is that if I have a hyphenated word in my wiki body text that it 'automagically' wants to create another wikipage from it? Is there a setting that I can turn on/off that stops this? Is it a bug? Or how do I 'un-code' these words please?

(I really like the ease of generating a new wikipage by coding a word with brackets around it, saving that page and then clicking on that word to generate its own page, and wouldn't want to turn that feature off though!)

It's called "HotWords", you find it in Admin > Wiki > Settings. If you turn it of, you always have to put double brackets around words that should link to a page (potential or existing). If you leave it on, you have to wrap the word in "reverse brackets" to prevent the automatic link: ))no link((.

Thanks Laetzer for the advice on what this is and where to find it - think then its called "Wikiwords" in the latest version - is that right?. Wikiwords looks set to change the underscored word to a Wikilink so I presume it is not case specific either.

I had been reverse bracketing until I realised that it was always to do with hyphens and that the words were becoming more prolific as the site developed.
