we discussed the idea that there should be a central core set of
standard wiki syntax. Ross was quite keen on the concept.
Standard syntax is important for the entire wiki world so that as
people become more accustomed to using wikis for all kinds of things,
they can feel comfortable on a variety of platforms.
How about fixing our own first? That is, template syntax:
Use image: [[Image:Name.jpg]]
Mention image: [[:Image:Name.jpg]]
Use category: [[Category:People]]
Mention category: [[:Category:People]]
Use template: {{Box}} (not [[Template:Box]] or {{Template:Box}})
-> I can understand {{Box}} as a shorthand for {{Template:Box}} as
people will rarely use namespace 0 stuff as templates, so why not
{{Template:Box}} but {{:Template:Box}} ?
Use template (substitution): {{subst:Box}} (no suggestions from me here, sorry)
Mention template: [[Template:Box]]

Hoi,
You missed one that IS wrong [[Image.nl.fout.ogg|fout]] this one is
wrong because it IS not an image.. It is a sound file ..
Thanks,
Gerard
