Hi,
I've just started setting up a wiki and I've discovered several problems with the WikiDot syntax I haven't been able to resolve.
1. If I want to create an entry that has a : in it (Such as 'Infinity: The Quest for Earth'), how do I escape this correctly without creating a new category.
2. URL links containing a right bracket don't work e.g. linking to a wikipedia entry like [http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(computer_game) Rogue] breaks. How do I escape these (hint @@ doesn't work).
3. The whole category/templating system feels very limited compared to MediaWiki. I don't want to have to rewrite an entry every time I create a template - I just want to specify variables that I can drop into the template. I also don't want to have to specify that an entry uses a template by forcing the entry to be game:Rogue everywhere I want to link to Rogue that happens to use the game template, it would be much easier to have to do this on the destination page, so I can just reference it as Rogue elsewhere.
e.g. the MediaWiki equivalent is:
Infobox VG| title = The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
| image = [Cover art.gif|256px]
| developer = [[Bethesda Softworks]]
| publisher = Bethesda Softworks
| designer =
| series = ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]''
| engine = [[XnGine]]
| released = {{vgrelease|NA=[[August 31]], [[1996]]vgrelease|EU=1996
| genre = First-person [[computer role-playing game]]
| modes = [[Single player]]
| ratings = [[ESRB]]: M
| platforms = [[MS-DOS]]
| media = [[CD-ROM]]
| requirements =
| input =
}}
4. How do you handle soft redirects e.g.
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

Thanks in advance. There are other decisions that you guys have made that are completely on the money (Google Analytics integration being one).
