SID-01194: BASEWEB returns TWiki.web with wikiword

Working with the WebLeftBarPersonalTemplate. I find that if your web name is a wikiword, then %<nop>BASEWEB% returns "TWiki.<webname>".

Discussion and Answer

This is actually spec. Some TWiki variables get expanded on topic instantiation. Details at TWikiTemplates

Follow-up: I think i misunderstood your question. Your issue might be a border case, possibly related to web-prefixing. If you include a topic, wikiwords are prefixed with the web-name so that links continue to work as expected. You case is at topic instantiation, so it might be a different case.

I'm not expressing myself very well. For example, when I am logged on, my account pull-down will read AaronWalkerLeftBar. In there, I have:

   * [[%SCRIPTURL{search}%/%BASEWEB%/?search=AaronWalker;order=modified;limit=50;reverse=on][My %BASEWEB% activities]]

If I am in a web called, say, Crazy, that link will say My Crazy activities. If the web is a wiki-word, like, NotCrazy, the link will be displayed as My TWiki.NotCrazy activities. The link works fine either way, but the display is wrong and misleading.

Can someone confirm or deny this?

Probably side-effect of the web-prefixing. Try to <nop> escape the variable.
