Wiki Page Names

[TracGuideToc]

Wiki page names commonly use the CamelCase convention. Within wiki text, any word in CamelCase automatically becomes a hyperlink to the wiki page with that name.

CamelCase page names must follow these rules:

  1. The name must consist of alphabetic characters only. No digits, spaces, punctuation, or underscores are allowed.

2. A name must have at least two capital letters. 3. The first character must be capitalized. 4. Every capital letter must be followed by one or more lower-case letters. 5. The use of slash ( / ) is permitted in page names (possibly representing a hierarchy).

If you want to create a wiki page that doesn't follow CamelCase rules you can use the following syntax:

  * [[:Wiki_page]], [[:ISO9000]],
   and with a label: [[:ISO9000|ISO 9000 standard]]
  * [[:"Space|Matters"]]
   and with a label: [[:"Space|Matters" all about white space]]
  * or simply: [[:"WikiPageName"]]s
  * even better, the new [[:WikiCreole|link style]]
   and with a label: [[:WikiCreole|link style|WikiCreole style links]]

This will be rendered as:

and with a label: ISO 9000 standard

  • Matters" (that page name embeds space characters)

and with a label: Matters" all about white space

and with a label: link style|WikiCreole style links

 //(since 0.12, also now adopted by MoinMoin)//

Starting with Trac 0.11, it's also possible to link to a specific version of a Wiki page, as you would do for a specific version of a file, for example: WikiStart@1.

You can also prevent a CamelCase name to be interpreted as a TracLinks, by quoting it. See TracLinks#EscapingLinks.

As visible in the example above, one can also append an anchor to a Wiki page name, in order to link to a specific section within that page. The anchor can easily be seen by hovering the mouse over a section heading, then clicking on the )] sign that appears at its end. The anchor is usually generated automatically, but it's also possible to specify it explicitly: see WikiFormatting#using-explicit-id-in-heading.
