Menu
On GitHub, is there a simple way to reference an issue (eg: #1234) from within a markdown file such that it is displayed as a hyperlink?
I don't want to write out the full form each time, as in:
[#1234](//github.com/user/project/issues/1234) In commit messages, issue numbers are automatically hyperlinked. Can this happen in wiki documents too?
(This is not a duplicate of this question which is simply asking about markdown hyperlink syntax.)

Adding links You can create links in wikis using the standard markup supported by your page, or using MediaWiki syntax. For example: If your pages are rendered with Markdown, the link syntax is [Link Text](full-URL-of-wiki-page) . With MediaWiki syntax, the link syntax is [[nameofwikipage|Link Text]] .
To link related issues in the same repository, you can type # followed by part of the issue title and then clicking the issue that you want to link. To communicate responsibility, you can assign issues.
It doesn't happen in wiki documents.
You can use a relative url but it isn't that much of a shortcut. It also depends on where you are in the project.
For example in the Readme.md in the master branch of the project:
[#1](../../issues/1)
On the github wikis:
[#1](../issues/1)
Anywhere:
[#1](/user/project/issues/1)
(h/t to VertigoRay for suggesting this)
