Sorry about that, I should've been more explicit.  Actions are
linked to pages, so it needs a pagename in front of the action,
thus:

    [[Main.HomePage?action=logout | log out]]

Or, to always go to the current page, one can use

    [[{*$FullName}?action=logout | log out]]

where "{*$FullName}" is replaced by the name of the current page.

Hope this helps,

Pm
