I've already sent this to Jimbo and Jason, but Wikipedia is acting very
screwy.  When I go to edit [[emoticon]] I arrive at
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=edit&id=Emoticon
which is as it should be, but what is at the top of the page is the
(lower-cased) word "action".

Moreover, the link to [[Ronald Reagan]] from that page is properly coded
("[[Ronald Reagan]]") but brings you to a nonexistent [[Ronald]] page,
which resides at
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Ronald_Reagan
!!!

But
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Ronald_Reagan
still works for me.
