A WikiWord consists of two or more words with initial capitals, run together. When you type a WikiWord, you establish a hyperlink. It's as easy as that. WikiWords are styled like this because: * It makes Wiki hyperlinks instantly recognizable * It leads to interesting Wiki topics * It avoids the need to fiddle with HTML tags * It avoids over-general topics, because at least two words are required **Syntax of a WikiWord** * Uppercase letter(s) * Lowercase letter(s) * Uppercase letter(s) * Optional lowercase or uppercase letter(s) or number(s) **Good examples for WikiWords:** * [[WikiWord]] * [[GoodStyle]] * [[AVeryLongWikiTopicNameIsAlsoPossible]] * [[ProblemY2K]] **Bad examples for WikiWords:** * Web: Name with no uppercase letter in between * T5Wiki: Name with number before the first lowercase letter * Know-How: Name with dashes in between **Hints** * Insert WikiWords wherever you can. Rich linking helps to make a Wiki successful. * To stop a WikiWord from being turned into a hyperlink, insert the text `` immediately before the WikiWord. * A topic is usually presented in the singular. Plural WikiWords are automatically linked to the singular topic, i.e. the link [[WikiWords]] links to the topic [[WikiWord]]. * Sometimes you have to be creative to find a good WikiName. For example, if you want to create a topic about the year 2000 problem, you could go for [[FixY2K]] or [[YearTwoK]] or [[YearTwoThousand]], but not Year2K or Y2K or Y2000. * Turn acronyms into WikiWords, i.e. take [[FaqIndex]] for a "FAQ index" topic.
