Added a wikilink on a term (to keep track of the discussions of anchors).

[ikiwiki] / doc / todo / Suggested_location_should_be_subpage_if_siblings_exist.mdwn

Given a page `/foo` and a subpage `/foo/bar`, if I add a link to `baz` to
`/foo` and click on the link to create the page, the suggested location
should be `/foo/baz` instead of `/baz`. The rationale is that presence of a
sibling folder, or sibling pages (with `usefolders=0`) is a strong hint
that we're at the root of a (sub-)hierarchy.
