Hey, great question. We have had some problems with how square bracket wiki names migrated in the recent upgrade. It is not they are inherently bad, just that we should use them sparingly and probably for really regular stuff --- just like dates.
I suggest:
- that we try and write them as you have, e.g.:
12 July 2007 Friday 13 December 2002 - that we put a prefix on them that is just all the capital letters of the relevant WikiName, so that RullaText spawns Rt dates and RullaDiary spawns Rd dates; and
- that we make them square bracket wiki names by writing them, thus:
[Rd - 12 July 2007] [Rt - Friday 13 December 2002] [Ac - 09 May 1971] or some such ;-).
The old way of making WikiName plurals has been featurified --AndrewBurrow, 2003/05/16 08:16 EST
Don't mind TheHive she is having a bad trip.
The upgrade did a lot to normalise the handling of square bracket wiki names. This makes some sense, because the CMFWiki? (old AlbCorpus:PloNe wiki) was more like the way ZWiki is becoming --- ZWiki is on a path of conquest, and sometimes pagan festivals have to be absorbed.
I read the upgrade notes and generally trust DebianGnuLinux do DoTheRightThing. However, in this case the machinery to translate existing square bracket wiki names was less than successful. MikeSays first noticed this.
I spent a fair amount of time trying to fix the colon infested :-P WikiName's. I think I did an OK job. Just watch for the changes.
A feature/bug in the wiki template --andrew, 2003/05/21 23:00 EST
The HTML code responsible for sending comments to the wiki
has a bug in it. It always requests a header for a comment,
even when the comment has no subject.
I hate this. It mucks up the LightCommentListConvention, so I plan to remove this bug when we switch to new site layout.
