I'd like to link to wiki pages by title (e.g. default.asp?ixWiki=3&sTitle=Example%20title) instead of by id (e.g. default.asp?W1). Right now I'm using the search page (default.asp?ixWiki=3&pg=pgSearchWiki&qWiki=title:Example%20title), but that requires an extra click.

Is there a way for me to make direct links by title instead of searching? Or is there perhaps an "I'm feeling lucky" type option for the search page?

I like this one. "Search this wiki" searches titles and content. Even if you enter your destination Wiki title exactly, it won't necessarily be at the top of the list. What's needed is a "Search" that applies to content and titles, and a "Go to" which only searches through titles and will take you to an article if there's an exact or only one match. – PJM Dec 4 2009 at 19:01

 Oooh. I like that a lot! I'm filing a feature. – Rich Armstrong♦ Dec 7 2009 at 23:34

 I think the 'title:' prefix in the query already takes care of searching by title only (not by content). – Peter Dec 8 2009 at 10:41

I've filed a feature request for an I'm Feeling Lucky param for both searches and filters.

A long time ago, I created a greasemonkey script called I'm Feeling Foggy that would automatically select the first case in a filter if I was taken back to the list page. Great for burning through a list of cases.

Cool! What's the usual ETA of such a feature request to us OnDemand users? – Peter Dec 8 2009 at 10:47
It's hard to say, but it's probably going to be more than a few months. – Rich Armstrong♦ Dec 8 2009 at 17:53
Hmm.. guess I might hack together a redirect script using the API in the meanwhile. – Peter Dec 9 2009 at 11:00

Linking by title wouldn't work as expected if the title was changed.

True, to handle that nicely you would have to offer/do a search and replace on links to your page when you change it's title. In addition you could keep a page at the old address redirecting you to the knew to help with any unchanged links from outside FogBugz. Of course, that would lock out the title from being re-used, so an option to replace that page contents, perhaps leaving just a small note with a link, would be nice. – Peter Feb 4 2010 at 9:25
