Hints

Insert WikiWords wherever you can. Rich linking helps to make a Wiki successful.
To stop a WikiWord from being turned into a hyperlink, insert the text <nop> immediately before the WikiWord.
A topic is usually presented in the singular. Plural WikiWords are automatically linked to the singular topic, i.e. the link WikiWords links to the topic WikiWord.
Sometimes you have to be creative to find a good WikiName. Examples:
- To create a topic about the the Bread Slicer 1.2 product, use BreadSlicer1dot2 or BreadSlicer1pt2, but not BreadSlicer1.2.
- To create a topic about year 2000, you could go for YearTwoK or YearTwoThousand, but not Year2K or Y2K or Y2000.
Turn acronyms into WikiWords, i.e. take FaqIndex for a "FAQ index" topic.
You can create nicer looking links by using double square brackets, i.e. write [[TWiki access control]] to get a link to TWikiAccessControl that looks like TWiki access control.
