GitHub allows cross repository references when typing text in various places. For example, to reference an issue in this repository, you would type a hash sign followed by the issue number:
#3

To reference issues in other repositories, the reference described above has to be prefixed with user/repo then the hash and the number. The current name is too long to type and it would be easier if typing the reference is vivo-isf/vivo-isf# rather than vivo-isf/vivo-isf-data-standard#

However, currently, vivo-isf/vivo-isf# does work because we have used this name in the past for this repository and GitHub remembers this and adjusts the display accordingly. For example, the following reference appears as vivo-isf/vivo-isf-data-standard# but when typing this reference I typed vivo-isf/vivo-isf#

#3

I know this is a little confusing but what I'd prefer is that we don't rely on this automatic GitHub redirection because most users that need to reference this repository will use the current long name, not any past names, because they don't know about them. And, if this is the central issue tracker, there will be a lot of cross repository references (from all the other repositories to this one).
