In IkiWiki::preprocess, the last capturing group in the regex used to parse directives in prefix_directives mode is of the form (\s+...)?\]\], which will not be matched if the directive is something without arguments or whitespace, like [[!orphans ]]. As a result, its value is undef instead of being an empty string, causing a warning when it is used in the anonymous sub $handle. A trivial fix is to treat it as "" if it is undef.
patch in the master branch of my git repository, and quoted here. --smcv
