What is a WikiName ?

A WikiName - often called a CamelCase word - is a string composed by two or more capitalized words joined together without spaces, like ThisIsANewPage.
WikiNames are easy to read, write and remember, and distinctive enough to be recognized by a wiki engine as HyperLinks.

Simplified rules for creating a WikiName

• It must start with an Upper Case character.
• It must be a minimum of 3 characters (2 Upper Case, 1 lower case).
• It may end with either a Upper Case or lower case character or numeric charcter.
• There must be a least one lower case character somewhere between the first Upper Case character and the last Upper Case character.
• There can NOT be any numeric characters before the first lower case character.
• In terms of uniqueness, a WikiName is NOT case sensitive. (see note in comments)

WikiNames that do not have a page created for them are indicated by a broken underline under the name like the following ExampleOfAWikiNameWithOutALinkedPage

A real WikiName by default, displays as blue type without being underlined; when the mouse passes over it, it changes color and becomes underlined. If this does not happen, then the author has coded the WikiName with a double set quote marks thereby disabling the link.
