Description

Gitlab wiki doesn't support shorthand notation like #issue-no, !merge-no, etc. (presumably, all the Gitlab-flavored markdown shorthand). They just show up as plain text. Since our document flow is all asciidoctor-based, I'd much rather use the same markup format in the wiki, but without the shorthand it's not really practical (I maintain the group discussion schedules, so keep documents with hundreds of issue/MR links in them).

Proposal

Support them, at least the links to issues and MRs. Perhaps this could be done as a pre-pass on request, to avoid any interactions with asciidoc itself?
