Wiki Page Links 0.2

I hadn’t really thought about it for a while, but over the last 24 hours I’ve received two separate emails about my Wiki Links WordPress plugin.

Since it’s a holiday and I’m in Belleville, I have a little bit of free time. I fixed a bug that one of the people reported. It wasn’t linking to pages with ampersands. So I fixed that and similar string encoding problems. For example, I can now link to Wikipedia pages with apostrophes (Handy! Like Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).

Around Christmas, I got an update from a user, Daniel Llewellyn. The patch has been available in the development version and I’ve been using it for months, but since I’ve been distracted by the new job and stuff I didn’t get it into a release. He added pipe (“|”) aliasing functionality like in Wikipedia, and edit links to new pages. That will be in 0.2.

You can get the new version from the official WordPress plug-in site.

    Wiki. Um, yeah. That’s nice. Er, we just got the new edition of WordPress for Dummies at my library?

    (Sorry, I just can’t get into this…)

    Happy Easter! That’s what you should post about–how many chocolate bunny ears did you get???

    :D

    The chocolate is all gone now. I really ought to learn how to stretch these things out…

    I know the feeling about the chocolate: mine lasted a whole day. I really need to lose weight, and scoffing two Easter Eggs in a day isn’t conducive to such.

    Thanks for the attribution on the “|” pipe aliasing. I might get around to adding some more functionality at some point, and sending you another patch.
