The ++ marks prevent the square brackets in the URL from confusing asciidoctor (I had to fiddle around with a few different options before finding that this one works).

Hm, I've tried to verify the link is working as expected but I get this error message:

MatrixError: [403] Monthly Active User Limit Exceeded
(https://fedora.ems.host/_matrix/client/v3/join/%23fedora-ci%3Afedoraproject.org?server_name=fedoraproject.org)

Seems like a problem on my side? Or some limit of the room?

when do you see that error exactly? just when showing the initial room info page after clicking the link, or going further and trying to actually join the room?

i noticed the wiki now has a fancy template which generates a link like https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#quality:fedoraproject.org , with a fancy "other clients" superscript after it which points to https://matrix.to/#/#quality:fedoraproject.org . See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA#Matrix_(chat) . Not sure what's going on there, but @kparal made the template - https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Matrix&action=history - so maybe he can advise what would be best here?

I see the error when trying to join the room.

Tried also to completely log out and back but now I don't get pass the login page:

• https://chat.fedoraproject.org/

The error message says:

We could not log you in
This home server has reached its monthly active user limit.

hum, that seems like maybe we need to give element more money. :D @mattdm ?

The last time I wanted to add Matrix links to quick docs, I had come up with this abomination. Nothing else rendered properly.

In my testing, there's no single URL approach that would work for everyone (your current URL with ?web-instance prevents people with Element+Matrix.org account from using it). So I ended up showing both a direct chat.fp.o link and a generic matrix.to link side by side.

Hm, interesting, today it works for me just fine. And the link brings me to the right room.
