[[!meta title="map does not link entries which are equal to basename(current_page)"]]

On <http://phd.martin-krafft.net/wiki/tag/factors/>, the top-level `factors` entry is not linked to the corresponding page. Looking at <http://phd.martin-krafft.net/wiki/tag/factors/language/>, this must be because the page name is the same as the entry name, and ikiwiki probably doesn't take the complete path of subpages into account.

I can confirm that most if the issues are fixed, but map still includes and links to pages that do not match the pagespec. The list includes entries like `tag/factors/contribute`, but that page does *not* link/is not tagged with any `factors*` tag. I have put a snapshot of the site as it was when I saw this bug at <http://scratch.madduck.net/web__phd.martin-krafft.net__map-bug-1.tgz> and can return to the state at any time, but I needed to move on now...

That's a different issue. :-)

This is really subtle and tricky. It's doing this because it
thinks that tag/factors/contribute _does_ link to a page
matching "tag/factors/*". That page? tag/factors/contribute/discussion!

Now, tag/factors/contribute/discussion doesn't exist yet in your wiki,
but there is a "?Discussion" pseudo-link, and that's good enough for
ikiwiki.

So, you could work around this annoying behavior with
!link(tag/factors/*/Discussion)

BTW, the testpagespec plugin is useful in debugging these kind of things.
