Does this site look broken?. Use the LitterTray web for test cases.

[[SomeFoo.SomeBar][SomeBar]] links to the SomeFoo.SomeBar.WebHome subweb even though there is a SomeBar topic in the SomeFoo web.

When hierarchical webs are enabled there is a feature (undocumented?) that introduces a semantic clash for

SomeFoo.SomeBar

pointing either to the subweb or the topic called SomeBar.

I'd opt to remove the feature that

SomeFoo.SomeBar

can point to

SomeFoo.SomeBar.WebHome

as it is (a) buggy and (b) sucking performance

Test create a topic Sandbox in the Sandbox web with content:

[[Sandbox]]

  • hierarchical webs enabled it links to Sandbox.WebHome ... wrong
  • hierarchical webs disabled it links to Sandbox.Sandbox ... correct

[[Sandbox]] should point to the same location no matter if you enabled hierarchical webs or not.

-- MD

Please be very careful, do not change the current spec for top level webs. In particular, these rules apply:

You type Label shown Comment
Someweb.SomeTopic SomeTopic  
Someweb.WebHome WebHome (if in Someweb web)
Someweb (if in other web)
Special case if in other web, so that users can type: For support visit the Support.WebHome web to get this: For support visit the Support web

We can't change this spec or we would break existing content.

Nevertheless, the spec has not been defined for sub-webs.
