Note that the capitalization is sort of ignored on the linked page: HomePage and HoMepage link to the same place. This does not make the latter any less ''[[TheProblemWithPenIsland wrong]]'', and has a risk of creating a page with [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15929125340A96459900&page=82#2034 a capitalization error in the URL]].

In addition, punctuation doesn't work with [=WikiWords=], it appears automatically if the page has a title with punctuation set up by a mod. See Administrivia/HowToMakeACustomTitle to request punctuation and nonstandard characters for a title.

The thing that makes this a "Wiki" as opposed to just a collection of editable pages is the ability to create "links" between pages. In the "classic" formatting, a link is identified by creating a [="WikiWord"=] by placing two or more initial-capitalised words together, CamelCase-style (e.g. {{HomePage}}). If the page exists, you'll see a link to it; if it doesn't exist yet, you'll see the name in red, which you can then click to create the page. You can get the same effect by putting the [=WikiWord-to-be=] between [={{curly brackets}}=]; and if the [=WikiWord=] is just a single word, curly brackets are the only way to do it. It is recommended to use CamelCase when possible, and curly brackets only for single-word [=WikiWords=].

Note that differences in capitalization are irrelevant between two identically-spelled [=WikiWords=]: HomePage and HoMepage link to the same place. This does not make the latter any less ''[[TheProblemWithPenIsland wrong]]''.

In addition, punctuation is not allowed in [=WikiWords=]—it appears automatically after edits have been saved. Click "[=WikiWord=]" under the "More" menu on the top bar to request punctuation and nonstandard characters for a title, and open the "How This Works" folder in the popup that appears for instructions. See also Administrivia/TextFormattingRules for specific details about the format.
