We moved from a mediawiki site to a drupal site using pathauto.

Some of the URLs changed such that:

/wiki/Allen_&_Overy (mediawiki- include escapes for &, not shown)

becomes

/wiki/allen-overy

It seems that the ampersand breaks the whole thing, and asks if I would like to create the page 'Allen'.

You can see this particular example on the links on this page

I think you're confused - I believe this is a pathauto problem, and I also believe you can fix it in the pathauto settings.

Also note that the ampersand is a special character, so it may not be possible to include it in paths.

Yes, not a wikitools bug. A pathauto "feature" :)
