Guilty, m'lud. It's a fair cop; you done me bang to rights. [1]

By default, wikilog sets $DateSeparatorPattern = '[-.\/]';

If you add the following to local/config.php before you 
include wikilog.php, the problem will go away:

$DateSeparatorPattern = '[.\/]';

The price you pay is that text of the form yyyy-mm-dd (as used in
wikiforms) will no longer get translated into a textual date.

There ought to be a way to support dates in urls and translated
long dates, but I haven't found it yet.
