Actually I'm not sure if there are users using the wikiword feature out there. This
feature hasn't been requested much. Personally I only wrote it mostly to demonstrate
the Rendering Transformation feature and not because this was a feature often requested.
I'm all for improving it though.
Thanks

PS: BTW you should post to the users list and not the developers list for this. This would
have also allowed other users to chime in and tell us if they use this feature… :)
Indeed this is a current limitation. When a wikiword is recognized the
link that is automatically created points to the current space. There's no
searching in the whole wiki for links that would exist with the same name.
Hi Vincent,
That's a serious limitation. I can see my users creating the 'same' Wiki
page in different spaces, each page holding different information. That will
be a nightmare to administer!
There's no flag in XWiki which forces "Uniquely Named Wiki Pages", so that
a
WikiPage must have a unique name throughout the entire XWiki (regardless in
which space the wiki-page has been created)?
Using the XWiki Syntax to point to the correct Wiki Page undermines the
power of WikiWords. The user must know in which space the wiki-page has been
created. The power of WikiWords is that the user should NOT know where the
page is located, the WikiWords does all the redirecting for the user.
I will open a jira issue, I bet there are more users which want to use
WikiWords like this.
