well, according to the specification at http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/WikiName?highlight=%28wikiname%29 ThisIsAWikiName there seems to be general agreement here http://wikka.jsnx.com/WikiName http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/WikiWord though not a wikis agree. in moinmoin others have noted the inconsistency and filed a bug as noted in http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/AllCapsInWikiName?highlight=%28wikiname%29 the problem being that the specification is simply vague here and does not specifically prohibit AWikiName. > >> WordsWithTwoCapsInARowLike >> ^^ >> do not become WikiNames. > > Would your proposed change to make the above into an Wiki name also make > all-cap sequences like NATO, FTP, and API into WikiNames it wouldn't since NATO !~ /^([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}$/ FTP !~ /^([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}$/ API !~ /^([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}$/ the pattern is word = one, or more, upper case letters followed by one, or more, lower case letters wikiword = at least two words together so FOobar is not a link but AFooBar is > If WikiNum, appearing one place, were also mistyped as WikeNUm (from holding > down the shift key too long, which I do occasionally), should the latter > become a separate WikiName?
