Otto,
        Thanks so much for the clarification!  That makes perfect sense.

Hi

I am the author of this plugin. Basically the format is how your browser

  wants them. If you look the generated code, you will find that the 
examples generate code as follows

[[@page|name]]
<a href="page" class="wikilink1" title="page">name</a>
This will guide you to http://somewhere/yourwiki/doku.php/page

[[@/page|name]]
<a href="/page" class="wikilink1" title="/page">name</a>
This will guide you to http://somewhere/page

[[@?do=recent|name]]
<a href="?do=recent" class="wikilink1" title="?do=recent">name</a>
This will guide you to http://somewhere/yourwiki/doku.php?do=recent

So this plugin is just following this same syntax.. sort of...
