I did create it. There was some page on the Wiki which linked to it, but the
link was broken. So I just created the link. I could not be bothered to explain
what a complex number is, so just put a couple of links and left it as that.
ROFL. That was most probably just due to the default interpretation of
camel-case words.
To clarify for those who don't know why Leif finds this amusing, the
wiki interprets things like CamelCase or ComplexNumber as links to
other wiki pages. Which are then dead links if the page doesn't
exist.
I think the easiest way to avoid this is to do !ComplexNumber - that
is, to prepend an exclamation point. There are some subtle
differences between the wiki and Trac, so I'm not sure if this is
right.

I think ! works on trac.
Escaping a word is one solution, but to be honest I don't see anything wrong
with what I did, which is to provide a link to a description of what a complex
number is. Especially for more complicated terms, this would actually be useful
to some users.
