Wiki Word

Definition and use as Page Titles

A Wiki Word is a set of two or more words run together, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. This syntax is also sometimes referred to as “mixed case” or “camel case”. Wiki Words are used as page titles in a WikiWikiWeb.

Use as links

In some wikis, you can string any sequence of words together, capitalizing the first letter of each word, to make a valid Wiki Word link. In such PmWiki installations, Wiki Words surrounded by [=...=] or preceded by a backquote (`) are not turned into links, LikeThis.

See Links for information about PmWiki’s rules for forming links and forming page titles.
