I agree with the strangeness of the name, but the problem is that we have inconsistent behaviour. Currently Fossil:

  *  Allows creating a new page with dot in the beginning here: [http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/wikinew] Note that there are rules for names listed on this page; and ".Pagename" is okay by these rules.
  *  But when linking to such pages via <nowiki>[.Pagename]</nowiki> syntax, links don't work correctly (should point to http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/wiki?name=.Pagename, but point to http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/.Pagename).

We should either disallow creating wiki pages with "." in the beginning and update the rules, or fix the link formatting.
