I should be subscribed now. I don't know if others have encountered problems subscribing to the list, but if so, they don't have the option I did of just logging onto the server and subscribing myself manually. I don't know much about mailman, so maybe I'm not the best one to investigate.

While I'm here, let me express my take on Brion's suggestion for the pipe-shortcut: I don't like the suggestion. The syntax of a language intended for non-technical folks should be as simple and unsurprizing as possible. If we can throw a bone to the old hands now and then to make their job easier too, that's fine--that's why I added the pipe trick in the first place. But if "xxxxx" is a valid page title, then the simple notation [[xxx]] should link to that page, in every case, not just the most common ones. Brion's suggestion would not make a special expert syntax, it would make a special case of /names/ that don't obey the standard syntax. I think that's more surprizing than the alternatives.

What I /would/ support is changing the piped syntax so that it was interpreted at render time rather than save time; so that, for example, [[Mercury (planet)|]] would remain in the page source code as is, rather than being expanded right away.
