It looks like Fossil fails to treat the "name" of a tech note as the name of a wiki page. I would consider this an oversight when implementing the wiki page look up. Also, Fossil claims to only look at commit and ticket artifact IDs when the link appears to be an artifact ID. I would guess this was by design to minimize the number of potential "prefix collisions" when searching by just a prefix of the artifact ID.
