 In my wiki, the page "realname" shows up as an orphan although it's being linked to.

+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:
