In the worst case we will have titles matching this regexp.
Titles can't match this regexp after this change as we'll percent-encode all literal colons to avoid clients interpreting them as protocols. That was the reason why we added the ./ in the first place, but the idea now is making all links relative to the wiki root rather than the current page name. Main reason for this is that we don't want to rewrite HTML on page rename or when combining HTML from different pages.
