Wiki tag issues

Several of them. First of all, it is the other way around; usually, with BBcode, the string within the tags is what shows up in the finished form, and the string within the opening tag is (in this case) the link. Like with url and post tags. The wiki tag is reversed--the text between the tags is the wiki link, the text within the opening tag is the visible output. Is there a reason for it?

I suppose that the following is a consequence of the above: when using the search function for a post that includes a wiki tag, the text that shows up is the wiki link, not the output text string.


Is this intentional?

I don't know who added the tag origonally, but it would be a pain to fix all the old tags if we switched it, so I'm geussing its reversed style is soundly grandfathered in at this point.
Taking a break from the site.

I had a feeling that would be the case. The OCD factor... *twitch*
