It seems autolinking breaks the link that is added to the sidebar.  
For example in the [Administrators Index](https://meta.discourse.org/t/administrators-index/322712)

> [@Administrators Index](https://meta.discourse.org/t/administrators-index/322712/1):
>
> - [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) Power BI integration: [Discourse Data Explorer Power BI integration](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-data-explorer-power-bi-integration/159577)

which only adds “[Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true)” to the sidebar instead of “Discourse [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) 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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true)
