Translate Wiki Links to URLs
Wiki links (NameOfWikiPage) in bugs on Trac should be converted to URLs. As URLs they are useful in Launchpad too.
The relationship between Wiki names and URLs seems to be a simple text replacement operation. No access to the repository seems necessary.

Translate Wiki Links to URLs
Wiki links (`NameOfWikiPage`) in bugs on Trac should be converted to URLs. As URLs they are useful in Launchpad too.
The relationship between Wiki names and URLs seems to be a simple text replacement operation. No access to the repository seems necessary.
This idea can not be implemented naively. A naive implementation would insert
large amounts of text (an URL) for every camel case word. There must either be
a way to mark words that should be converted, or a smart algorithm that does
the conversion only when it is appropriate.
Two basic strategies:
* Mark links with rectangular brackets (`[NameOfWikiPage]`). To reduce the risk
of colliding with Python source code, demand whitespace around the brackets,
like it was done for bug-links. This also allows escaping the whole
construction.
* Test if there is in fact a Wiki page at the URL before inserting it. To
reduce network traffic store URL where pages really exist. The link must be
the last word in a short line, maybe 40 characters are permissible before
the link. Demand mandatory whitespace around the camel case word, to reduce
the risk of colliding with Python source code.

* Structure it clearly as a text replacement command. For example
`[@URL NameOfWikiPage]`. This could easily be expanded to converting bug
links: `[@URL bug #123]`
* Test if there is in fact a Wiki page at the URL before inserting it. To
reduce network traffic store URL where pages really exist. The link must be
