-To select a set of pages, such as pages that are locked, pages
-whose commit emails you want subscribe to, or pages to combine into a
-blog, the wiki uses a PageSpec. This is an expression that matches
-a set of pages.
-
-The simplest PageSpec is a simple list of pages. For example, this matches
-any of the three listed pages:
-
-	foo or bar or baz
-
-More often you will want to match any pages that have a particular thing in
-their name. You can do this using a glob pattern. "`*`" stands for any part
-of a page name, and "`?`" for any single letter of a page name. So this
-matches all pages about music, and any [[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but does
-not match the SandBox itself:
-
-	*music* or SandBox/*
-
-You can also prefix an item with "`!`" to skip pages that match it. So to
-match all pages except for Discussion pages and the SandBox:
-
-	* and !SandBox and !*/Discussion
-
-Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using any of these
-functions:
-
-* "`link(page)`" - match only pages that link to a given page
-* "`backlink(page)`" - match only pages that a given page links to
-* "`creation_month(month)`" - match only pages created on the given month
-* "`creation_day(mday)`" - or day of the month
-* "`creation_year(year)`" - or year
-* "`created_after(page)`" - match only pages created after the given page
-  was created
-* "`created_before(page)`" - match only pages created before the given page
-  was created
-
-For example, to match all pages in a blog that link to the page about music
-and were written in 2005:
-
-	blog/* and link(music) and creation_year(2005)
-
-More complex expressions can also be created, by using parentheses for
-grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either
-of two tags, use:
-
-	blog/* and (link(tag/foo) or link(tag/bar))
-
-Note that page names in PageSpecs are matched against the absolute
-filenames of the pages in the wiki, so a pagespec "foo" used on page
-"a/b" will not match a page named "a/foo" or "a/b/foo". To match
-relative to the directory of the page containing the pagespec, you can
-use "./". For example, "./foo" on page "a/b" matches page "a/foo".
-
-## Old syntax
-
-The old PageSpec syntax was called a "GlobList", and worked differently in
-two ways:
-
-1. "and" and "or" were not used; any page matching any item from the list
-   matched.
-2. If an item was prefixed with "`!`", then no page matching that item
-   matched, even if it matched an earlier list item.
-
-For example, here is the old way to match all pages except for the SandBox
-and Discussion pages:
-
-	* !SandBox !*/Discussion
-
-Using this old syntax is still supported. However, the old syntax is
-deprecated and will be removed at some point, and using the new syntax is
-recommended.
