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. People largely expect links to be whole words, not parts of words. [[Bija]]ganita should therefore be equivalent to [[Bija|Bijaganita]].
If you would like to suppress the effect for a given link, use [[Bija]]<nowiki>ganita</nowiki>.
