WikiNotation < TWiki

TWiki links topics automatically, provided you give a WikiTopic a name that follows the WikiNotation. It is a sequence of:

	* Uppercase letter(s)
	* Lowercase letter(s)
	* Uppercase letter(s)
	* Optional lowercase or uppercase letter(s) or number(s)

Good examples for topic names: 
	* TWikiWeb
	* GoodStyle
	* AVeryLongTWikiTopicNameIsAlsoPossible
	* ProblemY2K

Bad examples for topic names:
	* Web: Name with no uppercase letter in between
	* T5Wiki: Name with number before the first lowercase letter
	* Know-How: Name with dashes in between

Sometimes you have to be creative to find a good name for a WikiTopic. For example, if you want to create a topic about the year 2000 problem, you could go for FixY2K or YearTwoK or YearTwoThousand, but not Year2K or Y2K or Y2000 as a topic name.
