[Mediawiki-l] '/' trick in subpage links

[John Moorhouse]

I was also wondering about the original decision to use the / to 
indicate a subpage, as you then get the problem that you cant have a 
subpage, 'team 2007/2008', would it be very complex to consider changing 
the wikitext from [[parentpage/subpage]] to [[parentpage//subpage]] to 
indicate a subpage as then [[teamx//2007/2008]] could be a valid parent 
/ subpage combination.
