Ignoring Topics for Links

Erdrix · April 9th, 2014, 02:55 PM

If it is not already possible, I would like to request the ability to opt Topics out of Link Scan.

Example: I have a room in a dungeon named "Stairs" now every time "stairs" shows up anywhere, RW tries to link to it.

Can you name it "Dungeon Stairs"?

What if he has many dungeons, each with stairs?

I think I'd be inclined to support this one as I find it annoying that Topics I have who best have a standard name get "hit" in the link scan constantly.

No idea how difficult it'd be to flag a Topic as hidden for the link scans, but hey, I have faith.

That was just one example. I have a topic container for armor and one for weapons to organize my gear list and now those two words are flagged constantly.

+1 from me.

Having Climb as the name of a skill topic causes too many false links :-(

I have an alias set up "Climb check" which I would want to link to that topic, so aliases should still link even though the basic topic title doesn't link.

It sounds very useful to me.

I could use this sooner rather than later since it comes up regularly for certain topics in one of my realms. +1

Even if this gets approved as a feature, it's still going to take some time to implement. So I just meant, in the mean time . . .

If I were in his shoes, and I had many dungeons, each with stairs, it would make as much sense to me to name them all "dungeon stairs" as it would to name them all "stairs". :-p

I'm just requesting the feature so we don't have to keep doing that.

I was just thinking about this last night. Definite +1 from me.
