 Some inconsistences around the toplevel [[index]] page:
 
-* The page's title is "index"; the linkpath looks like "ikiwiki / index".
-  IMHO it would be nicer if the title were "ikiwiki" and the linkpath was
-  just "ikiwiki" (for this wiki).
 * [[ikiwiki]] is a separate page; links to [[ikiwiki]] should better go to
   the [[index]] though.

+
+* The toplevel [[ikiwiki/Discussion]] page has some weird parentlinks
+  behavior. This could be special cased around with the following patch.
+  However, I'm unsure if I like the idea of more special cases around this.
+  It would be better to find a way to make the toplevel index page not be a
+  special case at all.
