Too much autolinking

Version 4.0.0 autolinks to the titles of subect area pages. This is a change in behavior that is confusing users.

This may not be a bug and in our Wiki there is an easy workaround.

The subject areas in MAIN are being autolinked in our forums. I believe it started with 4.0.0. Was that intentional? I can put all those subject titles into the ignore list, but in a larger wiki it could be a problem.

Yes, this was an intentional change. Technically it would have behaved this way in 3.x as well if you had created main pages for your wiki forums and integrated the pages to the correct forums, but in version 4.x admins don't need to do that -- it's just automatic. You are correct that this can be avoided by adding the area titles to the ignore list.
