Hi Richard,
It all appears to be working now!
It must have been a caching issue, I tried putting "[file://example]" in
a test page and it worked fine, I then looked at all our other pages,
and they seem to be working as well...
The problem was that they weren't being made into links (rather than the
links not working correctly).
Thanks for the tip about using preview to avoid any caching issues. I
did try emptying my browser cache and using different browsers, So maybe
it was cached server side?
Regards,
James Brunskill

As suggested on this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ
Did you read the caveats on that page about why the links may not
actually
work?

as follows:
$wgUrlProtocols =
'http:\/\/|https:\/\/|file:\/\/|ftp:\/\/|news:|mailto:';
This doesn't seem to have the desired effect :)
Any Ideas? Has anyone else run into this problem?
Can you clarify what exactly doesn't work:
* Does the text not become a link, or do the links just not work
(which is a browser issue, see the FAQ)?
* What is the exact text you are using? Have you tried with a really
simple string like "file://example"?
* Have you made sure there are no caching issues (using a preview to
test is always the surest way)?
