"config:hidepages" only hides pages that are fully qualified

[murrrf]

Specifying the name of the page "sidebar" in the setting "config: hidepages" does not hide from the list of orphaned pages "help: sidebar", "photo: sidebar" and the like.
In order to hide the "sidebar" in the nested namespace, I must specify the full name of the page, including all namespaces, what can be very annoying in the case of deep and wide namespace structure, for example "work:photo:2020:sidebar".
It would be nice if was enough to specify a part of the name or a regular expression. If this can be done in current version, then it would be nice to describe this feature in more detail in the help.
I use Greebo release, plugin was installed via plugin manager.

The logic of ignoring pages is done here:

dokuwiki-plugin-orphanswanted/helper.php

Lines 285 to 287 in 625b950

	if(!is_null($ignoredPages) && in_array($id, $ignoredPages)) {
	if ($conf['allowdebug']) echo "Skipped page (global ignored): " . $id . "<br />";
	$show_it = false;

The current check of in_array( only matches exact pages.

A new syntax for ignoring pages by patterns would need to be suggested.

Examples

1. (breaking change) Pages are local by default. sidebar matches work:sidebar but :sidebar only matches the top-level sidebar page.
2. Wildcard. *sidebar matches sidebar and work:sidebar and likely also extrasidebar.
3. Others

In my opinion, the best option would be "exact match of the page name in all namespaces." Since in 99% of cases we are talking about the same named service pages, such as "sidebar" or "_template".
But that's my personal opinion.
