Hi,
We have a couple of "short links" in Ask Fedora:
build#(\d+) -> http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=%5C1 bug#(\d+) -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=%5C1 rhbz#(\d+) -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=%5C1 wiki:(.+) -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/%5C1 packagedb:(.+) -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/%5C1
I was wondering if we could advertise them some how to make it easier for users/community members to add links to Fedora pages? I've added them to the sidebar in staging for the time being. It doesn't look too good though. Suggestions?
Ideally, all of this would be much simpler to add to a sidebar in the question view, but there doesn't seem to be option to modify it at the moment. Upstream hasn't commented on it either[2].
I'd also like to add another "short link":
question#(\d+) -> https://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/question/%5C1
that would make it easier to point to duplicates etc. (At present, we post the entire link). So, we could write "duplicate of question#XXX" instead of "duplicate of https://ask.fedoraproject.org/questions/YYY/"
"Short links" are modified using the settings on the MARKUP page[3]
What do you folks think?

Another place these could go would be the "Instructions on asking new questions" part. Unfortunately, the setting is broken at the moment:

For all of this, it would be even better if you could replace them as follows:
build#(\d+) -> [build #\1](http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=%5C1)
bug#(\d+) -> [bug #\1](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=%5C1)
etc...
Would make for cleaner pages.

That would indeed be preferable. :(

Yes please. :)
