Re: Interweb links not working with [[!include web:pagename]] about instiki HOT 5 CLOSED

BUT: the fix I just described causes this to fail [[!include navigation]]

That's the same way interweb WikiLinks work. Don't you think they should be consistent?

I just tested it, interweb WikiLinks work both using the display name and the address.   I had always been using the address, and assumed on the basis of consistency that the new include statement would use that as well.

If I were designing it from scratch I would use address consistently everywhere, as it feels more permanent, doesn't contain spaces and capitalization; it's an identifier.   It would be good to be able to tweak the display name of a web without breaking links to its pages.

But that would break backward compatibility.    If it were me I would still deprecate it, and use just address in the new syntax.

But we're getting into subjective judgement calls.   Whatever you decide the intended behavior to be is fine, I'll follow that.

Actually, either the name or address (with the name preferred) are allowed for interweb WikiLinks.

So we should do the same here. Added in 60db4d4. Tweaked in f6f5482.

P.S.: You can perfectly well comment on a closed issue and even (if you were the one who opened it) reopen the issue. No need to open a new one, merely to add a comment.
