Hi everybody. I hope I’m in the right category.
I do a lot of bug triaging work in gitea. Often in the process of categorizing/researching bugs you want to reference potential related issues/PRs. The first instinct is to just insert an issue number ( #123456 ) , which turns into a convenient link to the referenced issue/PR.
Problem is, that doing so automatically creates a notice on the referenced issue or PR. If the issue turns out to be unrelated you have then polluted the referenced issue/PR with an irrelevant link to the one you’re working on.
To prevent this we have developed a habit to put tentative references in backticks (#123456 or !123456) . This prevents the back-linking. But it also prevents the forward linking and makes looking up the referenced issue cumbersome.
It would be nice if the automatic notice in the referenced issue could somehow be suppressed, maybe by adding an escape character before the issue or something like that. For example $#123456 would turn into a link to issue #123456 without also generating a link back from that issue to here.
I searched through the documentation, but as far as I can tell this doesn’t exist…
Would someone know a way to accomplish this? Is there a feature request form for gitea somewhere?
