  • Has bugs updating things if the bestlink of a page changes due to adding/removing a page. For example, if Foo/Bar links to "Baz", which is Foo/Baz, and Foo/Bar/Baz gets added, it will update the links in Foo/Bar to point to it, but will forget to update the linkbacks in Foo/Baz. And if Foo/Bar/Baz is then removed, it forgets to update Foo/Bar to link back to Foo/Baz.

    Basically this makes creating new pages painful, top of TODO list..

  • Foo/Bar/Baz shows up as Bar/Baz in the linkbacks on page Foo/Bar. Should show as just Baz there.

  • If I try to do a web commit, to a svn+ssh repo, it fails with "Host key verification failed." I think that the setuid isn't fully taking; it should be running as me, but commit log shows www-data. So maybe it has the wrong username? Or EUID/Real UID screwage.

  • Can't put the source in a directory named .source; the page finder skips that due to too broad exclusion of any dotfile in a path.

  • RecentChanges is a regular page, perhaps it should be automatically replaced with a link to the [[CGI]]?

  • [[ikiwiki]] should go to the same place as [[index]] (on this wiki).

  • There's no way to escape a [[WikiLink]] when discussing one on a wiki.

  • Wikilinks are even expanded in the middle of [[MarkDown]] code blocks, and probably shouldn't be (nor in blockquotes?)

    Hmm, the best way to fix this would be to add WikiLink support into markdown, but that will probably be a bear. I guess the question is how common "[[ ]]" is, and maybe we should just provide a way to escape a wikilink..

Fixed bugs:

  • RecentChanges is supposed to linkify WikiNames and it does, but only if the user's page exists. It doesn't add a ?link to a noneistant page to aid creating it. (Fixed. -- [[Joey]])
