Man, I hate that type of wiki. My eyes always glaze over when I see interwiki links that AreSquishedTogetherLikeThis...
And I write C++ for a living, where RegisterFooWriterWithComponentFactory is a perfectly valid class name.
Is there something wrong with the mediawiki-type [[links]] that I'm unaware of?

- mynameishere 19y agoRegisterFooWriterWithComponentFactory should read RgstFWWCmpFctry to stay in C/C++ compliance. Since you used the word "Factory" as well as unabbreviated words, you must use Java or at least Java standards. That c2 wiki was one of the first made (actually--I think it is a descendent of the first) and is maintained by ward cunningham. I used to go there quite a bit, and actually added the "microsoft mouse driver" bit. Oddly, the formatting is completely changed. I don't know why someone would stick a newline after "Possibly the most".
- gojomo 19y agoWhat was wrong with MediaWiki-style links when they got started was such syntax didn't yet exist. That wiki is the original C2 wiki, where the idea and name 'wiki' originated. Their CamelCaseLinks predated anyone using any other kind of WikiLinks... so by the time other styles arose, there was already a habit and culture there around CamelCasing. Also, that style still nails an interesting corner point in the wiki design possibility space: dead-simple and obvious linking syntax.
