The concept of the WikiWord comes from the original [WikiWikiWeb](/history/WikiWikiWeb). The idea was to make it quick to create new pages and to automatically create links to them. Thus [Ward Cunningham](/history/WardCunningham) came up with the idea of a word *beginning with a capital letter and including at least one more capital letter* as something that is both the name of a page and the text of a link pointing to it. With modern Wiki's it has gradually fallen out of favour. For example on this site we can define links via `[[Link Name]]` which points to a page called `Link Name`, and the standard Markdown syntax `[Link Name](http://hello.com/path/to)`. This wiki supports WikiWord's and, for the time being, they are enabled by default. ACRONYMS and other ALLCAPS abbreviations are not treated as WikiWord's (that is, the definition of a WikiWord here is a word beginning with a capital, containing at least one more capital, and containing at least one lowercase letter).
