Relative url link on WikiStart page produces inconsistent link

Description

(Using standalone server, 0.10.3, Windows 2000)

We have tried adding the following relative url link to our WikiStart page:

[../newticket Create a New Ticket]

This produces different results depending on whether the WikiStart page was accessed using a URL like http://server/project, http://server/project/wiki, or http://server/project/wiki/WikiStart (all of which display the WikiStart page)

In the first 2 cases, the url generated is http://server/newticket (incorrect)
In the last case, the url is http://server/project/newticket (correct)

Apparently, even though the same page is displayed for all 3 cases, the relative link is using the url used to access the page as the base, rather than the WikiStart page's real url (http://server/project/wiki/WikiStart).

Obviously this can be worked-around using an absolute url rather than a relative one, but given that this is actually used as an example here TracLinks#Server-relativelinks, it should probably be addressed.

Yes, the documentation should be updated for the 0.11 release. The behavior of relative links have changed in that release, to make them more useful and more consistent, see r4442.
