So long as containing the caption isn't a problem, this one is good.
PmWiki users already associate the pipe with "the following text
describes the preceding item". Possible bad thing: what if people
expect it to generate a link with the text "caption" instead?

All these have possibilities since they too are natural separators. I
have " -- " hardwired in my fingers for various reasons already, so
it's my favourite from this bunch. " : " is a little more hassle to
type, and I forsee a lot of forgetting the initial space.

While the analogy is valuable, this one doesn't feel as natural as the
others do.
