-===== CamelCase =====
+====== CamelCase ======
-==== What is it? ====
+Some wikis support [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelcase|CamelCase]]. This means that words start with a capital letter and have another capital letter withing the word (like the two Cs in "CamelCase") will automatically be converted into links.
-Some wikis support "  [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelcase|CamelCase]]  . According to Meatball Wiki, CamelCase originated from the fact that Ward Cunningham's original WikiWiki, the PortlandPatternRepository was a place for developers to discuss software design patterns, and object-oriented programming languages use CamelCase for class names: "For people from this background, their brains automatically read CamelCase as a type loaded with the connotations that we build into that type, which seems rather appropriate for a Patterns-esque wiki."

-==== Usage ====
+===== Usage =====
 CamelCase may be confusing to some users, especially when typing web 2.0-style words, e.g. "LinkedIn" which unintentionally become links. The remedy is to have an easy-to-find icon to toggle the link behind such words. Some users might consider it hurts the readability of pages, while others see it as a great way to build links between pages and provide information about the linked terms.

 While allowing CamelCase to become **WikiWords** (and as such, links) is generally useful, it is best to have multiple options to create a link. Free linking is also valuable, as is the case in MediaWiki and the more traditional WYSIWIG of selecting word(s) then clicking on an icon or button to create a link.
-==== Example ====
+===== Example =====
-Several patterns on this site, including [[WikiGnome|WikiGnome]] , [[WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] , [[WikiZenMaster|WikiZenMaster]] , [[Maintainer|Maintainer]] , and [[IdentityMatters|IdentityMatters]] have CamelCase names.
+Several patterns on this site, including [[WikiGnome]], [[WikiTroll]], [[WikiZenMaster]] and [[IdentityMatters]] have CamelCase names.
-==== Related Patterns ====
+However automatic CamelCase linking is not enabled on this site, so the word still have to be explicitly linked.
