Some inconsistences around the toplevel [[index]] page:
-
[[ikiwiki]] is a separate page; links to [[ikiwiki]] should better go to
the [[index]] though.
-
The toplevel [[ikiwiki/Discussion]] page has some weird parentlinks
behavior. This could be special cased around with the following patch.
However, I'm unsure if I like the idea of more special cases around this.
It would be better to find a way to make the toplevel index page not be a
special case at all.

I would like to suggest another tack, namely a bigger, better special case.
The basic idea is that all indices of the form foo/bar/index get the wiki path foo/bar.
This makes some things more elegant:
- All files having to do with foo/bar are in the foo/bar directory, rather
than the (admittedly minor) wart of having the index be in foo/.
- This sort of addresses [[bugs/broken_parentlinks]] in that example/ is
guaranteed to be a valid path. (There might be no index there, though.)
- This is more in line with standard HTML practice, as far as I understand it,
namely that linking to a/b means a/b/index.html rather than a/b.html.
This would change the inline plugin in strange ways -- I think if foo/index.html
contains [[inline "* and !*/Discussion"]], it should skip inlining foo/index.html
explicitly, but would inline index pages in child directories
foo/bar/baz/index.html as bar/baz.
It always bothers me that foo/bar/ files need a foo/bar.html in front of them,
rather than a foo/bar/index.html, as is (to my mind) traditional.
