A WikiWord is made up of two or more concatenated words with uppercase letters (this is often also referred to as CamelCase or BumpyText). If you write a word this way into a page of the WikiWikiWeb, you will automatically create a HyperLink.

For example, these are valid WikiWords:

• RunCapitalizedWordsTogether
• EditThisPage
• ThisIsAWikiWordAsWell

while these are not:

• IBM
• somewordswithoutuppercaseletters
• 123456789

See WikiMarkup for other ways to create HyperLinks inside WikiWikiWeb pages.

Inventing nice and intuitive WikiWords can sometimes be a challenge and may also result in humorous links. See GoodStyle for some rules about WikiWords.
