You should probably read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpOnLinking before
giving out misinformation like that - there are several convenient ways to
make links using MoinMoin, including [url linktext], ["pagename"] or
[:pagename:linktext].

Toby - any urls in bug comments should be linkified automatically, I don't
think markup would be a particularly useful addition - it would confuse
rather than assist.
