Discussion
I was mislead by a subpage link on my page RobertSeeger and was sure that I had used the valid markup /MoinExporter for that. However I just looked into the raw and saw that the markup is now [:RobertSeeger/MoinExporter:?]/MoinExporter which is definitely not my style. Such artefacts appear on multiple positions of my page without my doing. Is this maybe an unwanted effect of the GUI editor? I haven't used it there, so it must have been you (AlexanderSchremmer)

- Cannot be me, the GUI editor does not work for me (Opera). But it could be a GUI editor relict, yeah.
Mysterious indeed, all links on my page changed the markup on 2005-10-20 between rev 7 and 8, but I can swear that I did not do it (I don't even fully understand this syntax ;-(( and I did not use the GUI (works for me, but tested it once and wasn't quite happy, so decided to let it "ripe" for a while). Maybe there was some kind of general update/migration action of this wiki on that day? Anyway, it's not that important now that I understand it
- It was the GUI editor, renaming this bug ...
Changed text_gedit formatter to have its own - more simple - pagelink() method to avoid this bug.
