+I notice that there is quite a bit of redundancy when both tags and backlinks are used extensively. On most pages, the set of links features in both categories is almost identical because a tag's index page is shown both as a tag link and as a backlink. Is there a way to improve that situation somehow? I realise that backlinks aren't generated when the tag index page refers to its contents by \[\[!map ...]], etc., but sometimes an auto-generated index is insufficient.

+The orphans plugin fails with an error when it has to deal with a page that contains '+' characters as part of the filename. Apparently the code uses regular expressions and forgets to quote that string at some cruicial point. The error message I see is:
