Hi Yury,

Hm, that's true... I hadn't thought of that. Some checkbox could be added
to the Page Schemas form, but maybe the better solution is just to have
uploadable fields in SF start adding a "File:" to the beginning of file
names they've uploaded. It's something that various people have asked
about, but I never took that seriously - I liked the "cleanliness" of not
including the namespace, and just having the file name. But maybe that
cleanliness is more trouble than it's worth - I know that, even without
this Page Schemas issue, the fact that a "File:" needs to be added to the
template has caused a considerable amount of confusion.

The main counter-argument might be that this approach is already in place
on a lot of wikis, so making a change to the upload setup would require
people to change a lot of existing pages; but then again,
backward-compatibility can't be a reason to never make a change, and the
Replace Text extension might be able to help with that sort of thing anyway.

Any thoughts?

-Yaron
