      VW4 Prefix Wiki Links? I'm Lost.

      Hi, I couldn't quite find anything that helps clear up my befuddlement by searching, so I ask...

      How do I refer to a prefixed page using the "wiki" bbcode? Is that even possible?
      I tried this, naively...
      Code:
      [wiki]Something:Title[/wiki]
      ... to no avail. (*See Below for what happens)

      Then I tried the alternative...
      Code:
      [wiki=Something:Title]Title[/wiki]
      ... again, to no avail. (*See Below for what happens)

      ?

      So, giving up, I saw that there is some feature for prefix-based bbcodes, so from the example above "SOMETHING" would be a bbcode?

      However, when I tried that, it doesn't seem to whatsoever recognize the tag; as rendered, it just spits it out the tag code as text, as if not recognized as a tag, etc.

      Next, I figured something must need to be configured...

      Now: Possibly a bug? (Part One)

      So I went looking in Structures->Prefix Manager. Strangely, when attempting to edit any given Prefix, including the default "Special" one ...

      1. the "BB-Code Tag Name" field does not consistently show in the popup that appears during edit. I haven't been able to figure what the pattern is, but sometimes it shows, sometimes it does not? (Like even for the same exact prefix, over different page loads, etc)
      2. even if/when it does show, entering something and then pressing "Save" just sits there; it never closes the popup, and I'm not sure it even persists the value I just entered. To do anything from there, I have to re-load the window, and re-roll the dice that this time, opening whatever Prefix will even show me the field to begin with..?


      Possibly a Bug (Part Two)?

      In circumstances where I was able to presumably get the "BB-Code Tag Name" to persist in Prefix Manager (as above), pages then begin to (seemingly) properly parse the tag specified (for instance: "[something]whatever[/something]" renders as a link, not just a dump of text)... but ... clicking on them yields unexpected, problematic results.

      * = The behavior from here is similar to what problem I ran into with the wiki-tag based approaches, above)

      Essentially, I wind up getting a "page does not exist" page (for content that I know exists at the given prefix+title).

      Curious, when I click "Create", the "Title" part of the form has the full "something:whatever" string sitting in the title text box, with nothing selected in the Title prefix dropdown... as if something isn't being parsed or sent properly somewhere to split them apart?

      I am quite lost. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

      Both of these ARE supposed to work natively. Please try to reproduce your findings in a test page in our demo and link it here.

      Well, what's interesting is that after I applied the tweak you suggested yon:
      https://www.vaultwiki.org/issue.php?...3656#note19647

      ... all my prefix link woes were resolved. By custom bbcode, as well as by the built-in wiki tag ala x:y

      So, basically, problem solved.
      Thanks!
