Extension talk:LinkTitles/Archive

This is a great extension, and is perfect for what I'm using. There is one minor issue I've found, however. When I'm using my template to auto-generate categories, and one of the names of the categories also is a link, it puts a link in the category syntax and breaks the creation of the categories. (I'm not sure if this happens if the category is manually created, I have not actually had the chance to look at it. Here is what I'm talking about, in case what I'm saying isn't clear.

Template: ]

On page: Test=Blue When rendered: Group]]]

I have fixed this for now by just black-listing the pages so they don't auto-link, but I would like to see an exclusion for things in a Category bracket. (I know, it can get tricky to do, but it's a suggestion) ^.^

 * Well if I understand you correctly, the problem is that the extension parses template parameters. I've quickly added a new option "$wgLinkTitlesSkipTemplates" that lets you control this behavior. Please see the main extension page to read more about it. The downside is that this setting will prevent all template contents from being automatically linked; but there is currently no other way that I can think of how to accomplish what you want. Is it what you want? -- Bovender (talk) 17:51, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Case of linking
This is really hurting me. I hate to have to create a stub redirect for all of the items. I have lots of articles that have two words with both being capitalized. I would like the option to search exact, then case-insensitive. I know this would double the load, but it would vastly help. - - - ''The extension performs a case-insensitive regexp search. Therefore, brackets may be added to words that have incorrect capitalization, causing 'broken' wiki links to appear. You may want to create redirecting pages for these variants (to also handle different user inputs).''
