Glitch in the lists link scripts.
Just caught an interesting glitch while editing old lists on IMDb. As some might know, you can hyperlink internal pages on IMDb like that:
[link=nm4087886]hyperlink's text[/link]. However, that feature curiously stops to work normally right now when you try and use it on other lists on IMDb: while before I clearly remember that working. In order to hyperlink another list you would need to use a full https:// link.
The interesting part is how exactly hyperlink glitches: if you use short handle such as [link=ls083467960] resulting link will look like that:
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls083467960/ls083467960
Which would of course just lead you to an error page.

I'm not having trouble with your name link on a list description.
(Such a stern Profile photo!)
However, I recall that they clobbered support for list links with the big update in Dec 2017. I've been using the full url for those.
BTW, when I changed the link to
[link=ls083467960]Nicolay's test[/link]
the result was
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls023398584/ls083467960
The first list id is the list where the hyperlink resides.

Hi @nikolay_yeriomin
Apologies for the delay on this - we've had the tech team thoroughly investigate this and they've confirmed that linking to other lists has not been supported.
I've updated this to an idea for others to vote on, should this be a desirable feature request.
