It seems that the orphans plugin doesn't recognize markdown-style links of the kind: [Pretty link name](realname) In my wiki, the page "realname" shows up as an orphan although it's being linked to. > Like anything in ikiwiki that deals with links, this only takes > [[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]] into account. There should be no real > reason to use other link mechanisms provided by eg, markdown for internal > links in the wiki (indeed, using them is likely to cause broken links > when doing things like inlining or renaming pages). --[[Joey]] The orphans plugin fails with an error when it has to deal with a page that contains '+' characters as part of the filename. Apparently the code uses regular expressions and forgets to quote that string at some cruicial point. The error message I see is: \[[!orphans Error: Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(c++ <-- HERE |)$/ at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki/Plugin/orphans.pm line 43.]] --Peter
