I was trying to fix a link the other night and nothing seemed to work.

On this page https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=simulations:CentralScotland:CentralScotlandIssue#v3.238.3
there's supposed to be a link back to the index which was coded as ^[[.:CentralScotland|Index]]^
this takes you to https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=simulations:CentralScotland:CentralScotland.

Tried various different coding to try and get it right.

Also the display of the link box is not quite right.

Ditto. Tried [[.:|]], [[..:centralscotland]], [[...:simulations:centralscotland]] and [[simulations:centralscotland]] to no avail. I've set it back as it was originally.

I have been posting about the broken links issue periodically since September, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

It's in Mantis so... no.

I've just moved house over the course of three weeks along with all the admin work that that takes (schools, utilities, realtors...) and before that had a huge amount of work from other customers so unfortunately SimSig got somewhat left behind. However, I am getting back into it - and fixing the Wiki links is something I hope to finish today.

Thanks, I was randomly fixing things as I found them. Looks like it should be ..: as that's now working.

I see a lot of links are now shown in red but not consistently.

Looking through a random sampling out of 1137 Wiki pages, all I've seen so far are genuinely broken links and page names with # in the URL (ie jump to a particular place on a page). If there are any that don't fit into that category, please give a page name.

Auto indexes I'm working on right now.
