[00:57] <dsmythies> wiki.ubuntu.com pages will sometimes automatically make a word into a link. There is a way to force it not to, but I can not recall how. Anybody know?
[01:08] <belkinsa> Use !?
[01:08] <belkinsa> !
[01:08] <belkinsa> Er, ! in front of the word.
[02:57] <dsmythies> belkinsa: Thanks very much.
[02:57] <belkinsa> Not a problem.
[02:58] <pleia2> or backticks, like Blah``Foo
[02:58] <belkinsa> I think the backticks works better
[02:58] <pleia2> generally does for me
[02:58] <belkinsa> !LoCo didn't work for me on my wiki page
[02:58] <ubot2> belkinsa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[02:58] <belkinsa> Ignore the bot's reply
[03:10] <dsmythies> pleia2: Thanks for the alternate suggestion.
[06:34] <godbyk> dsmythies: Though I'd write DeskTop as Desktop anyway.
[06:38] <dsmythies> godbyk: O.K.
[06:44] <godbyk> dsmythies: What time zone are you in? US/Pacific?
[06:46] <dsmythies> godbyk: Yes. I think 2 hours behind you.
[06:47] <godbyk> dsmythies: Yeah, I'm US/Central.
[06:47] <dsmythies> hmmm... now the ! that belkinsa taught me becomes visible, so had to delete it. Grrrr, I hate the automatic link thingy.
[06:48] <godbyk> I do, too. Who uses WikiWords these days?
[06:48] <godbyk> They were just a quick hack to begin with.
[06:50] <pleia2> heh, yeah, I have to escape them more often than they are useful
[13:17] <belkinsa> dsmythies, does '' work?
[13:17] <belkinsa> ``*
=== jpds_ is now known as jpds
[14:57] <dsmythies> belkinsa: I guess that change that godbyk recommended changed the word from one that needed to be forced to not be a link to one that did not need to be forced to not be a link. So then the ! became visible. To answer your actual question, I didn't try the pleia2 method.
[14:58] <belkinsa> Yeah, but it only works for things that can be changed that way.  Not like LoCo.
[15:00] <dsmythies> belkinsa: Is it a Capital letter somewhere inside the word that makes the wiki decide it should be a link?
[15:00] <belkinsa> Yes.
[15:00] <dsmythies> Oh.
[15:01] <belkinsa> JustLikeThis.  It's a wiki word format that it uses.
[15:02] <dsmythies> I'm not familiar with  wiki word format.
[15:02] <belkinsa> I'm not, but I learned it from working on new pages for the Ubuntu Women wiki.
[16:30] <belkinsa> Okay, the `` and ! doesn't work.  I tired on LoCo on my wiki page and both didn't fix the problem.
[16:49] <dsmythies> belkinsa: the ! did fix the issue for me, when I was still using DeskTop as the word.
[16:50] <belkinsa> I will try again.
[16:52] <belkinsa> Yeah, it fixes it when you save not preview mode.
[16:53] <dsmythies> I thought I did preview it, but perhaps not.
[16:56] <belkinsa> `` doesn't fix it though after saving, ! does fix it.
[18:13] <belkinsa> slickymaster, ping.
[19:17] <dsmythies> belkinsa: For me. Test results: ! with Preview worked fine. `` with preview did not. I didn't try save, because it was just a test edit.
[19:17] <belkinsa> Weird.
[19:18]  * belkinsa shrugs
[19:18]  * dsmythies shrugs also.
[21:56] <KI7MT> dsmythies, This page has several examples of links, using CapWords also !CapWords and several other link methods: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnLinking   .. then on this one, Avoid or Limit Auto Links: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax#Hyperlinks
[22:04] <dsmythies> KI7MT: Thanks. Aghhhh..... Now I understand the pleia2 method, it's Desk``Top not ``DeskTop (which previews fine). I better save the links somewhere that I will remember.
[22:05] <belkinsa> Thank you, KI7MT.
[22:05] <KI7MT> dsmythies, Maybe create a Wiki page with both pages combined as a how-too / quick ref :)
[22:05] <belkinsa> So, LoCo, will be Lo``Co in that method?
[22:05] <dsmythies> yes.
[22:06] <belkinsa> I was thinking about doing that but I think the ref page is made and might just be linked to some other page where people can see it.
