Usually it comes from user errors while using VE. This kind of errors are quite common, and I asked (several years ago) whether it could be fixed in VE, but was told "no".
I'd really appreciate it if you could give me more information on this. Could you link to the task for this request? There is T128060 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128060 from early 2016 ("VisualEditor makes it easy to create partially linked words, when the user expects a fully linked one") but I don't see you on there, and I want to make sure I understand your request.
Here's how the linking feature works right now for adding links to words which presently have no links:
- If you put your cursor inside a word without highlighting anything, and add a link, the link is added to the entire word. - If you highlight some text, and add a link, the link is added to the highlighted text.
How would you propose this feature be changed?
Thanks, Dan
