If I create a WikiWord web, then uses of that WikiWord show up in view as though the WikiWord does not exist.

however, clicking the questionmark, edits WikiWord.WebHome

personally, i'd rather that the WikiWord instances link to the WebHome of the sub web.

the use case I have, is I created a Main.SvenDowideit web, and moved my user information to Main.SvenDowideit.WebHome.

This seems to be partially fixed on release11 branch. It no longer edits the WebHome topic, but creates a topic named WikiWord in the WikiWord web.

Can this be No Action'd or does it need a feature proposal to change linking or ???

that sounds worse!

are you saying that if I type WikiWord in the Main web somewhere, it will then link to WikiWord.WikiWord if there is a web called WikiWord?

I'd call that a big old bug!

No. Starting in the parent web. I recreated locally on my Sandbox...

SubWeb in a topic in Sandbox	Initially renders as a missing link
Create Web Sandbox/SubWeb	SubWeb topic still is a missing topic
Click SubWeb? link in Sandbox	Edits and creates a Topic SubWeb in Sandbox along side the Sandbox/SubWeb web
Visit Sandbox/SubWeb.WebHome	works
Create topic Sandbox/SubWeb.TestTopic with wikiwordk SubWeb	Renders as SubWeb? missing link
Click and create Sandbox/SubWeb.SubWeb topic ...	Creates a Sandbox/Subweb.SubWeb topic in the Sandbox/SubWeb web
... and so on - this works similarly in the SubWeb web.

My head hurts trying to write all that... So a Web that is a WikiWord can exist along side a Topic of the same name, and Topic links remain "in-web" and don't cross web/subweb boundaries unless explicitly linked. I believe that this is how we want it to work. To work any other way I believe would require a feature proposal.

Can we close this? or can you submit a test case that shows where it goes wrong?
