WARNING: BAD LINK FORMAT

This page contains links to either Interwiki or Support wiki, but the links do not use proper wiki link markup. Please do not write links like https://dev.trackabout.com and https://meta.trackabout.com.

Rewrite links to the Support wiki that look like

https://meta.trackabout.com/wiki/index.php/This_Is_A_Link

to: (note conversion of underscore to spaces)

[[This Is A Link]]

Rewrite all links to the Interwiki that look like:

https://dev.trackabout.com/wiki/This_Is_A_Link

to: (note conversion of underscore to spaces)

[[interwiki:This Is A Link]]
Note

You may just be editing one section of a page, and the offending link appears in some other section you're not editing. Sorry about that! The AbuseFilter acts on the entire page, not just the section you're editing.

Save the text you're working on in Notepad or another text editor. Edit the whole page, and fix the links, then return and complete your work.

Reference

See the documentation for examples of how to use proper wiki link markup.

Also see interwiki:Things to Know#Linking Between Wikis for instructions on properly cross-linking between TrackAbout's wikis.

Why do we care? The wiki has tools to manage things like broken links (red links). These tools don't work if you don't use proper wiki link markup to write your links.
