Is there a canonical way for linking from Moodle Docs to the forums?
I have been using external linking like so [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=119016 Moodle Development with git] but I think a more elegant way would be to use what is called Interwiki linking (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Guide_to_setting_up_interwiki_linking).

We have a Moodle text filter that looks for wiki-like links. For example:
[ [Upgrading] ] without the extra spaces renders as Upgrading.
[ [Development:Roles|Roles documentation] ] renders as Roles documentation
[ [Upgrading] ] without the extra spaces renders as Upgrading.
[ [Development:Roles|Roles documentation] ] renders as Roles documentation
Thanks Tim, but that's for linking from forums to Docs, isn't it? I was looking for a similar way the other way round, i.e. for links from Moodle Docs to Moodle forums.
It might not be terribly important, but I think those links shouldn't be rendered as "external" links, which in fact they are not, but as "internal" to distinguish them from really external links to other web sites.

I don't think it is a big deal. I just tend to make sure that the working of the link makes it clear, something like

Thanks for the tipp, Tim! (Nothings beats common sense, especially over indiscriminate use of technology...)
