A little bit of both, unfortunately. Our parser automatically converts any links to guides, products, or wikis to wiki-style links:

[guide|72415]

Instead of raw URLs:

Unfortunately our wiki linking system isn't granular enough to link to specific guide comments yet, so the system is simply linking to the guideview page and lopping off the comment portion of your URL, so it ends up in our system as:

[guide|72415]#comment-268419

I've tried a number of different hacks to try and insert a link to a comment, but it seems like we don't have a temporary workaround right now. I'll shoot it over to the devs and see what we can come up with. Thanks for the heads up!
