After wiki engine (MoinMoin) update at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki MoinMoin macros like {{RecentChanges}} or {{SystemInfo}} (by the way, somehow link to SystemInfo was lost on FrontPage). It looks like some configuration related to using Wikipedia-like links syntax was lost:

 * You can make links using [[linkname]] (or even [[target|label]]
 * If you ever need to use macros here, use a  {{macroname}}  syntax.

The second part is lost.

By the way automatic table of contents is now in a box which is unnecessary narrow; see e.g. http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq Could it be configured to something more resembling previous style?

It looks like the problem is caused by stale caches of wiki pages. I was able to make RecentChanges page work by choosing "Delete Cache" action from combo box, but this solution doesn't work for example on template page to create new pages. So currently you cannot create new pages on GitWiki.

Pasky, could you please remove / delete cache? TIA.
