Commas in Wiki Names; Causes them to not Display Correctly when Linked on the Main Wiki Page.

I created a wiki the other day that linked one of my PDF images. When I created it, I had a comma in the wiki title. When I created a link to that wiki on my main wiki page, it errantly displayed the actual, cryptic link details. Once I removed the comma from the original wiki title, I was able to to create a wiki link that displayed the title correctly.

It would be nice if this feature was fixed to allow commas, as I sometimes want them in my wiki titles.

    Actually I just tested linking using Textile and it worked perfectly with the comma included.

    [[Rule 1,000]] works as written. So does [[I Think, Therefore I Am]].

    Thanks for replying. Interesting, it  didn't work for me and removing the comma definitely corrected it. I tried it twice, but that was in the same login session. I'll test it again, when I get a chance.

    Are you typing this out in Textile or in HTML?
