: is not allowed by default.

To allow page names with a colon, a couple things need to be added to  
PmWiki.  this is being actively used on http://similepedia.com


Add to the top of config.php:


// Allow : in pagenames
$NamePattern = '[[:upper:]\\d][\\w:]*(?:-[\\w:]+)*';
$PageNameChars = '-:[:alnum:]';

$QualifyPatterns["/\\{([-:\\w\\x80-\\xfe]*)(\\$:?\\w+\\})/e"] =
     "'{' . ('$1' ? MakePageName(\$pagename, '$1') : \$pagename) .  
'$2'";

// : in page names may interfere with page text variables -- this  
corrects the problem
   Markup('{$var}', '>$[phrase]',
     '/\\{(\\*|!?[-:\\w.\\/\\x80-\\xff]*)(\\$:?\\w+)\\}/e',
     "htmlspecialchars(PageVar(\$pagename, '$2', '$1'), ENT_NOQUOTES)");



And now : works!
