Yes, and that's one point I really like DokuWiki for. :-)

Both links can't be misinterpreted.

But this server shares auto detection recognizes the share
only partly. If I have a share like \\server\vol1\dir1\dir2\dir3
in my text, the link will only guide to \\server\vol1 and this is
IMHO a misinterpretation of the server share.

Do we talk only about the windows share links or does this include the
web and email links too? Maybe we should make the link detection
configurable?
