That's because the string "LinuxCNC" satisfies the definition of a WikiName, aka WikiWord*. It is interpreted by our Wiki software as requiring a link to a target page whose URL is wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi.bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC. Since the target page doesn't exist yet, our WIki software obligingly displays "LinuxCNC?". If you intended "LinuxCNC" simply to be a string, then you can override the Wiki's interpretation with the (admittedly awkward) construction "<nowiki>LinuxCNC</nowiki>" to escape the string. Of course, if you do mean "LinuxCNC" to be linked to a target page, then you can click on the "?" mark to be taken to an automatically generated new target page and start editing it. When you save the target page, the "?" mark will be removed and the string "LinuxCNC" made a proper Wiki link on the source page. If you have the source page open in one browser window when you save the target page for the first time, you'll probably have to reload/refresh the source page to see this result. That's an interesting idea you have about placing a global page at wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC. I suppose it could say simply "Oops"! I like it although it may encourage authors to be lazy. Regards, Kent *In several previous messages I called this a WikiWIki word. Sorry. I got carried away. Yes, WikiWiki was the name of yet another Wiki software system I once dabbled with, but it used the term WikiName too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
