wow. u are so smart!
That is so helpful! Thanks for blogging this!
Being able to have documents and wikis exist in the same library is a beautiful thing. The down side is that, after using the method you describe, when I try to create a linked page off a wiki using [[page]], it defaults to a different content type and has no wiki content, just other metadata. I have to go back, change the page to a wiki, and then edit the content. Have you encountered this and found a solution?
