Unwanted irrelevant Mentions is added automatically by RTC
It is a great feature that any MentionedBy link is automatically added when one work item is mentioned in another one.
We have mny teams hosted on the same RTC server and from time to time we received notification that one work item is mentioned by another one in a differen team and completely unrelevant to either other.
We dig into this and find that the link can be added if you just mention a number happen to be the same as a work item ID or a phrase like "item 8", then a MentionedBy link will be created.
This is a little too much and created many completly irrelevant links between work items havingnothing to do with each other.
Has this been raised before as a bug?
We are on 2.0.0.2.iFix04 and it is still with us.

We are having the same issue of irelevant and would be interested if there are restrictions of its use could be put in per Project Area and key words ?
You can control this to some extent by removing the "alias" values for
work item types in your Process Configuration Data.
But you cannot remove the automatic link creation for the work item type
name. I've submitted work item 165783 to give the user control over this.
