Issue: Autolinking not working

It should be working as expected now.

The problem with autolinks is allowing all cases to autolink, even though the rules are in conflict with each other:

- Only link whole words. Determining if it's a "whole" word depends on a whitelist of characters that can be considered a boundary of any word.
- Adjacent words should be possibly autolinked, so boundaries should be excluded from the result set.
- Words including the URL space character should be autolinked.
- Exclude words that start or end with a hypen - or _. Even though it's a special character, it is probably part of another word like wave-motion or a function_name and therefore not a distinct word.
- Allow words to contain characters that technically aren't word characters (like periods or hyphens), but still disallow those characters at the boundaries.

You were occasionally running into a collision with the last rule, since you have article names that end in a period, and you want them to autolink. Sometimes PHP was failing to find a boundary after the period, because the period itself is usually considered a boundary.

Thank you.

Is there some way to re-parse the posts to repair the missing auto-links?

I am not sure I really want to do that because sometimes people have problems with unexpected auto-links.

I would recommend clearing the parsed posts cache rather than re-parsing them. That way the posts are only re-parsed when they need to be viewed.

You can clear the forum posts cache with the database query:

Double thanks for that one, I had forgotten when parsing occured and thought it was at creation time rather than read time.

I did notice that VaultWiki is not populating the vw_parsed table. Could that have anything to do with the presence of both vault and vw tables in the database?

Wiki parser caching was not available before 4.0.0 Gamma 7.
