Description:
------------
Text_Wiki version 0.23.1

Making a change to line 20 of Interwiki.php to expand the set of characters it allows in the second section of the regexp allows a number of links to be used that currently are not supported. Key examples are Bible references, Wikipedia special pages, and links into some science journals.

Reproduce code:
---------------
20c20
< var $regex = '([A-Za-z0-9_]+):([\/=&~#A-Za-z0-9_]+)';
---
> var $regex = '([A-Za-z0-9_]+):([\/=&~#A-Za-z0-9_:.;-]+)';
