  Couldn't find any reference on this, so sorry if it has already been dealt with.
  
  I am using the 2007-06-26 version of Dokuwiki in a Windows 2000 server.
  
  I was having a problem with 'youarehere' links for namespaces and pages with the same name.
  
  For example, say I have the namespace foo, and the pages foo and bar in it. The files would be
  foo.txt
  foo/foo.txt
  foo/bar.txt
  
  When I opened the inner page foo (foo/foo.txt), there would be only one 'youarehere' link for itself instead of the namespace>>page (should be foo>>foo). When I opened the page bar, there would be the 'youarehere' link for the namespace (foo>>bar) but it linked to the inner page foo/foo.txt (should be foo.txt).
  
  I followed the code and figured out this is done in function resolve_pageid in inc/pageutils.php
  
  Solved my problem by swapping the elseif's (lines 401 & 405) when checking if the page exists, so my version now first checks if a page named like the namespace exists before checking that inside the namespace.

  Hi Guilherme!
  
  Good or bad, this behavior is by design.
  
  See http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:namespaces#namespace_default_linking for details.

  Such a microsoft response...
  
  Bad behavior is broken/buggy regardless if it was intended... intentions don't make things right.
