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.
