Automatic wiki links

Redshift · 2012-06-10, 09:08 AM

Those little keyword links to the wiki you put in are pretty good, but that little icon next to them is really getting annoying, if you have a decnet sized bit of text it gets flooded with them.

Is there a way to leave the wiki links but kill the icon, so it's just a text thing?

Possibly.. but then how would you know it's a wiki link. Perhaps another shade of the link color or something?

Is it possible to deactivate the PSU link for the tech forum? Every time someone asks about a power supply unit (PSU), it gets linked to the PSU wiki page.

Should not appear in Tech now

Yea change it to another colour sounds good, it's got mouse over text anyway and once you've worked out what it does once you dont really need the icon again

We are still toying around with it.. trying to find the right balance.

any way to make it link to any one wiki page once? because with all of the people talking about their Outfit, between the TR and the VS and the NC, linking to each page about Outfit structure and the TR and the NC and the VS each time they're mentioned on PSU is going to make it so that every post on PSU is filled with an insane number of wiki links about Outfits, The TR, The NC and The VS.

Its annoying. See what I did there? They're almost as annoying as the VS Lasher or the VS Beamer or Starfire MAX. Maybe there should be a MAX number of wiki links to the PSU wiki per post? Ideally, wiki links to the PSU wiki are as unobtrusive as a Cloaker, but right now are as glaring as a Vindicator Sunderer Variant or a Prowler Main Battle Tank.

Due to large performance issues with attempting to do only the first instance of each word, it currently needs to replace them all.

Still a big work in progress, it will continue to change some more, and that is certainly something I would like to accomplish. Just wait to see how spammy it is when I add the wanted pages
