CamelCase

Also known as medial capitals.

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.

If a wiki supports CamelCase, this means it automatically recognizes such a word as a wiki link without any additional syntax.

This obviously only works for languages that have at least two different cases. It will not work for Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.

Pros

• Automatic linking of CamelCase style words inside the wiki.

Cons

• Artificial look of CamelCase style words - see example below.
  • Example: MedialCapitalsLooksLikeThisWhatDoYouThink
• Names like McGee or code examples like document.GetElementById will be automatically linked.
