Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Apr 21, 2014 at 7:18 comment added Arjan Ah, it seems that redirections are not handled, at least not in the preview: linking from MSE to MSO, and the other way around, still works when referring to new posts, just not so much for migrated posts. Like meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/49424/stack-exchange-data-explorer which currently redirects to meta.stackexchange.com/questions/49424/stack-exchange-data-explorer and is not rewritten with its old URL (at least not in the preview).
Apr 20, 2014 at 15:20 comment added Arjan Now that this post is on MSE but the link still refers to MSO, editing this very post seems to break the auto-linking, while a bare URL on MSO pointing to MSE works just fine: maybe auto-linking on MSE should also support links to other metas? And curious, @Kevin: the revision history of this very post currently shows the bare link. Does that imply that the HTML is rendered on the fly for the revision history?

Preview shows the links as per http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/80543/can-we-improve-the-automatic-titling-of-links-to-internal-urls/80546#80546
Jan 31, 2011 at 12:13 comment added Arjan Sometimes it works too well: sometimes even links in code blocks are changed, and also links that are explicitly linked manually to avoid replacement (like in revision 1 and 2 here).
Jan 31, 2011 at 12:01 comment added Pekka This doesn't seem to always work though. Are there some special rules? And it definitely doesn't work in comments.
Dec 13, 2010 at 10:30 comment added Arjan I guess it's by design that the Markdown <bare url> syntax gets one the title too? (If not: currently the <..> syntax also is replaced by the title.)

Merged Kevin's comment into answer.
Dec 13, 2010 at 7:33 comment added Kevin Montrose @Arjan - it will always insert the current title into the post, at post creation time. However, should the title subsequently change it will not be updated unless the post is edited.

Nov 8, 2010 at 12:28 comment added Tobias Kienzler Would you consider adding this for inter-SE links too?
Nov 5, 2010 at 6:00 comment added Kevin Montrose @Alex - it is triggered on edit, and will be available on all of the SE sites within the hour.
Nov 5, 2010 at 6:00 comment added Alex B Awesome! Is this triggered on edit? Will it be rolled out to the stack exchange sites?
