Again, I might be biased, but I prefer the | character because it seems
to be used a lot in other wiki systems for a seperator, hence feels
consistent to me.
I guess PM wiki doesn't have a particularly standard seperator character
in it's syntax? Perhaps the ":" is more common if anything? I am not
sure if the colon is allowed in filenames on most file systems so it'a
also a candidate
The brackets I think that whilst rare, could be used in the caption itself?
