A WikiWord is made up of two or more concatenated words with uppercase letters (this is often also referred to as CamelCase). The WikiWikiWeb (which powers the K-Meleon wiki) will automatically convert WikiWords into links.

These are valid WikiWords for example:

• RunCapitalizedWordsTogether?
• EditThisPage
• ThisIsAWikiWordAsWell?
• WikiWord (this very topic)

If you make the words all lowercase, all uppercase, or all lowercase except for one capital letter, it is not a WikiWord. WikiWikiWeb will not convert any of the following into links:

• wikiword
• WIKIWORD
• Wikiword
• wikiWord

You can also create links on the K-Meleon wiki using square brackets instead:

• [This is a sentence in square brackets which becomes a Hyperlink?]
• [I'm a link too?]

If you are using a term that would normally be a WikiWord but you don't want a link you must add ! or ~ to the front of the term. If you use a WikiWord but there is no corresponding page in the wiki, WikiWikiWeb will bold the text and add a ? linking to a prompt to create that topic.
