 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:
+CamelCase page names 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).

-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.

-See also TracLinks#QuotingspaceinTracLinks.
+You can prevent a !CamelCase name from being interpreted as a [TracLinks link] by quoting it with an exclamation mark: `!CamelCase`. See TracLinks#EscapingLinks.
 
-Finally, and as exemplified in the line 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 [[html(¶)]] 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.

+There are a few options that govern the rendering of WikiPageNames:
+* CamelCase linking to missing pages can be disabled with the `ignore_missing_pages` [https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni#wiki-section option]. Linking to missing pages is enabled by default.
+* The `split_page_names` option, when enabled, will split CamelCase words when rendering a link. For example, WikiStart will be rendered as [WikiStart Wiki Start].
