The discussion Autolinking and doc sidebar highlights an issue where autolinking breaks links added to the sidebar. Moin provided examples from the Administrators Index topic, showing that only the short link text (e.g., “Data Explorer”) is added to the sidebar, instead of the full link text (e.g., “Discourse Data Explorer Power BI integration”). This issue also affects other topics, such as Discourse SSO. However, the problem was fixed in a Pull Request, as mentioned by saquetim.
It seems autolinking breaks the link that is added to the sidebar.
For example in the Administrators Index
which only adds “Data Explorer” to the sidebar instead of “Discourse Data Explorer Power BI integration”, also the link takes you to the topic about the plugin instead of to the guide.
It also happens with Discourse SSO
