[Mediawiki-l] Apologies for repost but I need help with this ASAP

Well I've got a workaround but it's damned ugly...

If I search for 'unmade_page' then click make this
page and then when linking to the page use
[[unmade%20page]] it sort of works...

pretty limiting though and if somebody can suggest a
better way...

TIA

Nicholas
