It depends. If you write a link like {{CommonHTTPStatusCode}}, it will display as CommonHTTPStatusCode (it would also be blue), which is obviously wrong. If it's {{Common HTTP Status Code}}, it'll appear as Common HTTP Status Code, it's a valid link, but probably uneconomical. Hold on a sec, I must check something.

Huh, it's the same in terms of HTML code. Still, wikiwording is much preferred, it takes up less space in the editing screen and allows for custom titles.

Wikiwording is generally preferred. Curly brackets are for specific purposes and should be used for those purposes.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

The problem with using curly brackets over camel case is that it increases the amount of characters on a page. Not a big issue when you're just posting on a forum- but it can become one when you're posting content to an already long page.

It also doesn't use custom titles if you use bracket links, I believe

Yes, I've said that. As for increasing the number of characters, it's more about the markup screen and not actual HTML. I think I summed this up pretty well.

And it makes it difficult to find the wick through Ctrl+F when needed.
