Please use TracLinks

[Ryan Schmidt]

Hi all,

This is a reminder to please use Trac links when writing in Trac. Here is the documentation:

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/TracLinks


Specifically, when referring to a Git commit in a Trac ticket or wiki page, use the proper Trac notation to do that; don't paste a GitHub URL.


So, don't write:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567

or:

[https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567 this commit]


Do write:

[0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/macports-ports]

or:

[changeset:0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/macports-ports this commit]


Using Trac links properly has the advantages that Trac will differentiate between internal and external links. For internal links to changesets it will show a useful tooltip containing the commit message when you mouseover the link, and for external links it will show a special icon beside the link.
