I would like to second this.
A case for turning off CamelCase--
I work with a LOT of wiki-novices (we work with contractors who come in for
a few weeks at a time, and they're expected to add to the wiki for
project-tracking). Surprisingly, none of them are confused by the concept
of making links by enclosing words in [[brackets]].
Conversely, they *are* somewhat puzzled when they inadvertently create links
when using CamelCase in proper names (which, in this day and age, a lot of
companies seem to Camelcase the names of their projects). So, I spend
wasted time tediously de-linking CamelCased words.
Also consider:
- the Creole markup spec does not include CamelCase.
- Many other wiki's have gradually moved away from CamelCase.
I know that CamelCase still has it supporters. Perhaps a solution would be
to make it a switch in wikiconfig to make CamelCase optional. That way,
everyone can be happy.
