  CamelCase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CamelCase, camel case or medial capitals is the practice of writing compound words or phrases where the words are joined without spaces, and each word is capitalized within the compound.
CamelCase is a standard identifier naming convention for several programming languages, and has become fashionable in marketing for names of products and companies.
However, the use of CamelCase became widespread only in the 1970s or 1980s, when it was adopted as a standard or alternative naming convention for multi-word identifiers in several programming languages.

 CamelCase and Wiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original wiki/WikiWiki convention for creating hyperlinks was the use of CamelCase to indicate a link.
A word became a link, with the link name equal to that word, and the link target being the page with that name, if it was in CamelCase form, with the additional requirement that the non-leading capitals had to be followed by a lower-case letter.
CamelCasedTerms are recognized by search engine spiders and indexers as single words, thus ranking pages incorrectly (a word in the URL generally rates a page as related to that word).

 Wikipedia: CamelCase
Bicapitalization or camel case, frequently applied to the term itself and written CamelCase, is the capitalization of more than one word within a compound word or multi-word symbolic name.
C and many later programming languages are case sensitive and allow symbolic names of arbitrary length, while not allowing these to contain whitespace (spaces, tabs, etc.), which can make longer symbols harder to read.
CamelCase is also the original wiki convention for creating hyperlinks, with the additional requirement that the capitals are followed by a lower-case letter, hence AlabamA and ABc will not be links, see http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiCase.

Medial capitals or CamelCase is the practice of writing compound words or phrases where the words are joined without spaces, and each word is capitalized within the compound.
CamelCase has been sporadically used since ancient times, for example as a traditional spelling style for surnames in certain ethnicities, such as the Scottish McLean or the Dutch-American deJong or DeJong.
CamelCase has been used in languages other than English for a variety or purposes, such as the transcription of Tibetan names like rLobsang.

Look up Wiki in Wiktionary, the free dictionary Wikibooks has more about this subject: Wiki Science A wiki (IPA: or ) is a type of website that allow users to easily add and edit content and is especially suited for collaborative writing.
StudlyCaps (or perhaps StUdLyCaPs, also known as StickyCaps) is a variation of CamelCase in which the individual letters in a word (or words) are capitalized and not capitalized, either at random or in some pattern.
CamelCase has been also common among mobile phone users, thanks to the popularization of SMS (Short message service) in the late 1990s.

 Why use Wikicities? - Wikicities
If you have a use for a wiki, and you want that wiki to be easily maintainable, part of a large community, and hosted for free, then you should consider using Wikicities for it.
The wiki can be created in minutes, and you don't even need to think about the technical issues involved, such as installation and back ups, or buying servers and domain names.
CamelCase makes pages difficult to read and search, and it is irreversible without manual work (a program cannot know whether a title of "MicroSoft" is meant to be CamelCase or not without a dictionary, which is likely insufficient).

On 25 February, 2002 an automated conversion script was run to convert CamelCase names to new-style names, although by this time almost all CamelCase links in articles had been removed anyway.
I've done a lot of thinking about WikiLinking recently, and I'm not sure that the WikiName (capital letters) convention is a good fit for the encyclopedia.

 NetVillage : What is CamelCase?
Bicapitalization or camel case (frequently written CamelCase) is the practice of writing compound words or phrases where the terms are joined without spaces, and every term is capitalized.
CamelCase has been sporadically used since ancient times, for example as a traditional spelling style for Scottish surnames like McDonald, in some acronyms like "DoE" (for the U.S. "Department of Energy"), and in marketing for naming corporations and products, such as the CinemaScope movie projection system introduced in the 1950s.
One theory on the origins of CamelCase in computing claims that the style originated within the culture of C programmers and hackers, who found it more convenient than the standard underscore-based style.

CamelCase (also InternalCapitalization, StudlyCaps, CamelHumpedWord) is the WikiWiki software convention for automatically making links.
It refers to words which are capitalized at the beginning and within the word, often made by concatenating capitalized words together.

 CamelCase Vs Free Links - infoAnarchy Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
CamelCase has been criticized as making texts hard to read, especially for speakers of languages that are very case-sensitive.
CamelCase links tend to force the writer to create short link titles, which can be regarded as an advantage.
The decision to use CamelCase is not easily reverted because links to pages with only one word in the title have to contain the shifted case somewhere, so Wiki becomes WiKi, Evolution becomes EvoLution or EvoluTion etc. -- an automatic conversion script cannot know whether this is one word or two words.

 Quickiwiki, Swiki, Twiki, Zwiki and the Plone Wars Wiki as a PIM and Collaborative Content Tool   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Wiki pages are controlled — created, linked, edited, deleted, moved, renamed, and so on — by a programming or scripting language, and stored either as plain ASCII text files or in an external relational database, such as MySQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
Wikis that implement page-version control may also allow page rollback, usually via the History view; sometimes you will see the word "diffs" used for version display, which means differences, a short form of the software utility of the same name.
Wiki was subsequently extended by some clone derivatives to include more explicit database management (server-side add-on), such as RCS (Revision Control System) [http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/rcs.html], CVS (Concurrent Versions System) [http://www.cvshome.org/], or ported/integrated into larger CMS systems (Python Zope) [http://www.zope.org].

Explanation: In most wikis, it is necessary to "SmashWordsTogether" to create a link.
In my experience, CamelCase is especially ugly for readers who speak highly case-sensitive languages, such as German.
Some MoinMoin wikis solve this by suggesting to use CamelCase where the link reads well with a space between it, and free links otherwise.

 InterWiki
Since">linkmost wiki systems use URLs for individual pages where the page's title appears at the end of an otherwise unchanging address, the simplest way of defining such mappings is by substituting the InterWiki prefix for the unchanging part of the URL.
However, rather than creating a new list from scratch for every wiki, it is often useful to obtain a copy of that from another site.
InterWiki links make it very easy to connect wikis on completely different subjects to each other, although the varying text formatting rules, layouts and link patterns complicate a seamless transition from one wiki to the next.

The two most common link patterns in wikis are CamelCase and free links (arbitrary phrases surrounded by some set delimiter, such as [[double square brackets]]).
InterWiki links on wikis based on free links, such as Wikinfo, typically follow the same principle, but using the delimiters that would be used for internal links.

In a "normal" wiki, you create links to pages inside the wiki using CamelCase, brackets, etc. If the linked page doesn't exist, the wiki flags it with a question mark, colored text, whatever.

A prefix other than w:, wiktionary:, wikiquote:, m:, wikibooks, a valid language code, or a valid code for an external wiki, is treated as an internal link: a namespace prefix or just the first part of the name of a page in the main namespace.

TracLinks are generally of the form type:id (where id represents the number, name or path of the item) though some frequently used kinds of items also have short-hand notations.
