can't link to pages with brackets in the name #293

The name of http://wiki.tcl.tk/38909 includes brackets, making it impossible to 
link to by name.  Possible solution: In a link context, interpret doubled 
brackets as a literal bracket:

a link to [A Program In Tcl/Tk To Demonstrate The Three Geometry Managers : 
[[pack]], [[grid]] and [[place]]]

It only became possible to create such pages when the Create New Page function 
was added. Previously, the only way to create a page was to link to it, so it 
was obviously impossible to create pages that could not be linked to! Perhaps 
another solution would be to make the Create New Page function disallow 
impossible names, plus audit the database for such pages and manually correct 
them on an individual basis.
