Tech:Open Directory links don't work

From Wikitravel Shared

Jump to: navigation, search

[edit] What happens

When adding a link to an Open Directory article, the link automatically has Regional/ appended to the beginning.

[edit] When it happens

Seems to happen on any page. You can see it here: http://wikitravel.org/en/Cruise_ships where the "Open Directory" link on the left hand side goes to http://dmoz.org/REGIONAL/Recreation/Travel/Specialty_Travel/Cruises , when "regional" shouldn't be there. I also tried it on the Graffiti Wall and had the same result.

[edit] What should happen

The link 
[[DMOZ:/Recreation/Travel/Specialty_Travel/Cruises]]
should go to http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Travel/Specialty_Travel/Cruises

[edit] How to fix it

?

[edit] Additional comments

If that is ever processed, the domain should in fact be http://www.dmoz.org/ since the http://dmoz.org/ one redirects there. -- 79.199.105.204 05:29, 28 April 2008 (EDT)
