Forum:Predictive linking?

Hi! Is it possible to make the predictive editing function (when you start writing a link, it comes up with suggestions of pages that are already on the site) continue, even after a space? For me, it always disappears when I press the space-bar, but never used to do this! --Mulder 10:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the report - but can you give me a bit of extra info: when/where exactly are you seeing the issue, and what browser you are on. 14:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I tested it righ here on this page and after writing TulipVorlax 16:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm using Mozilla Firefox and it doesn't seem to matter what wiki I visit; it's doing it - whichever wiki I'm on, the text always disappears when I put a space! I take it this isn't intentional? --Mulder 16:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Same here on all wikias, the link auto-complete closes whenever you enter a space (Firefox). It's been around for quite a while. -- Porter21 (talk) 17:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I can confirm the issue - I'll bring it up. 17:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Somewhat related - recently the autocomplete is bringing up redirects as well. Is that intended? While it's helpful in certain circumstances, it's annoying in others. For an example, type in  This  at [[w:c:fallout; it'll bring up all the capitalization/spelling redirects for w:c:fallout:This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough.... -- Porter21 (talk) 01:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Also confirmed. We'll look into it. 14:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Just to add, showing redirects also extends to the search box. -- Porter21 (talk) 13:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Quick update: redirects shouldn't be showing up for much longer, and the spaces issue is still being looked at. 17:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Workaround
In the meantime, use an underscore instead of a space and the autocomplete list will not retire. 16:56, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
