You could change this on your wiki by modifying the shortcut definition : Currently this is: [shortcut name=debbug url="http://bugs.debian.org/%s" desc="bug #%s"] You just have to use: [shortcut name=debbug url="http://bugs.debian.org/%s" desc="#%s"] (I use single bracket here beacause of [[bugs/wiki_links_still_processed_inside_code_blocks]])
