The editor helpfully relativizes LessWrong URLs (even if I enter it as an absolute URL) and then the relativized URL, though it works from the front page, fails from the sub-page itself. It is not possible to not relativize it!

I.e., try clicking the "Followup to" from within the article (not the front page).

This behaviour is something that we can configure in the editor. I've raised an issue for it.

Eliezer. We've changed the editor configuration to not generate relative paths. It will still generate ones relative to the site root though, which is desired behaviour. E.g. If you paste a link to http://lesswrong.com/lw/5/issues_bugs_and_requested_features/78 it will save it as /lw/5/issues_bugs_and_requested_features/78 which will work no matter where you are on the site.
