      Issue Summary

      On page using the legacy editor, if a user does not have the space permissions to see the page, or the page is restricted and the user is not able to access the page as well, when editing the page, the text title for the link will be automatically changed to /wiki/spaces/<spacekey>/pages/<pageID> and published automatically with it, instead of just showing this URL for the user, but it actually changes the text in the page, and users who have permissions to see the page, will see the title /wiki/spaces/<spacekey>/pages/<pageID>, causing confusion among the users.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new page using the legacy editor
      2. Insert a Page Link from another space
      3. Publish the page
      4. Make sure to have no space permissions on the space where the page link was from
      5. Refresh the published page

      Expected Results

      The page title doesn't change for the users who have permissions to see the page and the page published does not change the link.

      Actual Results

      The page title changes if the user has no space permissions on the space where the URL is, the title is also not shown, only the pattern /wiki/spaces/<spacekey>/pages/<pageID> appears instead.

      Workaround

      To avoid it to happen, you can click on the link, click on edit in the link macro and insert the page title and publish. You can also convert the page to the new editor.
