Adjust automatic 'topic' links in our posts?

I'm wondering about the automatic topic links that appear when we post certain key words.

Is there a way to 'tweak' them manually?

For example, I've mentioned ash (trees), and the automatic link goes to the topic wood-ash, which is different enough to not be that helpful.

Could I edit that somehow to be 'ash-tree' or at least remove 'wood-ash' as a link?

Many thanks!

Have a looknat the " boost this thread" button at the bottom of the thread. That can remove auto links.

If there is an epic thread about ash trees, we might be able to add that link in.

Thank you for rapidly responding.

I don't see a way to simply remove unhelpful accidental 'wrong homonyms' (of which English apparently has thousands, although of course ash (tree) and (wood) ash are both particularly 'permaculture' orientated unlike (cricket) bat vs. bat (mammal)!).

Thank you. That's not what I want to do, however. Most of the auto-links are fine.

I simply want to be able to remove the 'wrong homonyms' so that I avoid accidentally but automatically mis-directing people from e.g. a comment about ash (trees) to a topic link relating to (wood) ash.

That's the second option I gave. Find or create an epic thread and we can add it to the list.

If memory serves, it prioritizes phrases over individual words.

I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
