Hey guys,
Been using Realm Works now for a while and stumbled upon a behavior that bugs me and I was wondering if it was the expected behavior or possibly bug/feature request. So, let's say you have a Monster article named Dragon and you also have a class article named Dragon Knight. If you have Auto-Accept on the Dragon article, when you type in text within the Dragon Knight article, the Dragon will be automatically linked to the Dragon article. Shouldn't the current topic list of names take precedence on other topics? Linked a snippet where the link is 'wrong' and also linked the topic names configuration. |

The desirable behavior would probably be no link at all in the dragon knight topic, right?

Well, it depends. Since the Dragon Knight does have a Dragon as a patron, I would expect that Dragon alone would be detected, but all mentions of "Dragon Knight" would not.
So I'm guessing the algorithm would be: - Detect all words that match my current names - For all matches, set Ignore Link - Detect all other topic names Would this make sense? |

Yes. I am shocked I haven't run into this. Or at least cannot remember it

Should I report this as an issue to LWD?

I'd recommend it, although I'm not sure if they would consider it a bug or a feature request.

The idea (I believe) is for Realm Works to see that the text matches a name associated with the current Topic/Article and not link anything.

When saving a topic, Realm Works does not suggest linking to the same Topic (at least I have not seen it do so.. but I have not specifically tested this with the newest build). If it is doing so for "Auto Accept", that's probably a bug.
Otherwise, as kbs666 mentioned, the purpose of auto-accept is to have RW automatically link without confirming those links. If a Topic Tiitle is a single common word, it can have undesirable side-effects when set to Auto-Accept, for which reason it should be used with that in mind. |
