After a quick play around with your module I can see that it adds some much needed functionality to freelinking from a user perspective but it also takes some away. That is, by hijacking the freelinking filter I also lose the freelinking page which displays the list of freelinks in a table with a link to create or view content. This is very useful from an administative perspective as it allows fast auditing of created pages. Also, the "create this content" block fails to display anything, as I guess the freelinking module can longer access whatever it is that is needed. Any chance that you could work on getting these two modues to work together without losing this functionality? Is this perhaps an issue to raise with the freelinking authors?
#1
Fixed in the dev version:
When you go to the 'freelinking' path, the freelinking page will be displayed.
When you go to 'freelinking/Something' path, wikitools will handle the resolving of 'Something'
I think the 'Create this content' block is updated when you access the 'freelinking' page, so that's why it didn't show anything as you were unable to get to this page.
Please test if it works.

That's fixed it! Thanks a plenty. One more question though. Is it possible to have wikitools hijack the "create this content" link on the freelinking page also? I imagine this is a more complex alteration, but it would allow for a deeper level of integration.
#3
I will look into it. Not right now though, I got some other stuff to work on...
I will reopen this issue, otherwise it looks green in my overview and I will never look at it again ;)
#4
This should be categorized as "postponed".
#5
I guess this issue is still around unfortunately? (...implied by "postponed"...)
I get the same behaviour, i.e. freelinking lists correctly "to be created" in the main area but when I want to use the block "Create Freelinking content" then it comes up empty, just showing the block header. I have fiddled around with the block configuration settings but the block does not react at all.
Any suggestions or ideas appreciated.
