G'day Ed and all, I've been chewing on it a bit, trying to put on a WikiWords advocate hat (which isn't fitting this cranium all that well...)
"Wiki" means, from many things I've read, "quick" in Hawaiian. (It would be pretty cool to get some fun context/history/examples about the word from a Hawaiian!) >From my perspective, the only advantage of WikiWords is to shave off time entering the double brackets and spaces between words. So all about squeezing max efficiency (and reducing typing-induced tendinitis o' the finger knuckles.) Try as I might, I just can't see any other benefit. Maybe, aside from speed for users, it was/is also a quick and easy way to implement page linking in wikis? (It would be pretty cool to have some wiki historians chime in!)
