Also remember Semantic MediaWiki's syntax. [[Param::Value| ]] is used to hide the attribute and just add the semantic data, instead of rendering it as a link or whatever type of text.

Hi All Please note that a space as a *sortkey*, as in [[Category:Foo| ]], is usable, and actually used; it is much the same as using * or ! as a sort key: moves the entry for the page to the top of the category. Some people prefer a space for that, because it does not create a heading in the category listing (well, actually, it does create an empty h3 tag). Though i can't tell you how often it's actually used.
Anyway, treating [[Category:Foo| ]] just like [[Category:Foo|]], i.e. turning it into [[Category:Foo|Foo]], would break things.
Cool, thanks for the tip. For the purposes of my grammar, I actually treat [[internal links]], [[image:foo.jpg|images]] and [[category:foo|categories]] as three totally separate, unrelated things. Mostly because of the parameters: [[foo|caption|these|are|not|parameters]].
Speaking of the grammar, it's going good now. Had some major dramas with ANTLR, but we're on speaking terms again. :) It covers all features except tables, categories (which I'm about to get onto) and magic words like __TOC__. It parses http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Acid-base_chemistry perfectly except for a slight bug in headings.
