I try to put a link on a part of a compound word, but the result is that the ling takes one more syllable ie:
[[Bija]]ganita
In the resulting page the link is on part Bijaga not only on Bija. Why? And how this behaviour can be corrected.
Note: i tried to put the link on "Bi" only, but the result is the same...
It's a shortcut of sorts. For instance, if I write "Lots of people use [[car]]s nowadays", it's kind of ugly if the "s" isn't highlighted.
Your example seems (to me) irrelevant: of course nobody wants such a link: [[car]]s; but I explained that it was a compound word and you may want to explain one part of the compound: [[now]]adays (BTW, I don't know what this "a" between now and days stand for!).
People largely expect links to be whole words, not parts of words.
In that case the automatic correction done by wiki is strange: why only one or two syllables? and not to the end of the word?
Is it because, in fact, the "n", in ganita part, is not a latin "n", but a letter with a diacritical mark (underdot)? Are wiki's rules fully compliant with utf-8 encoding?
If you would like to suppress the effect for a given link, use [[Bija]]<nowiki>ganita</nowiki>.
I'll use this. Thanks. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris 5 - Paris http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
