Link Word

What is a LinkWord?

A LinkWord is formed by capitalising two or more words and running them together without spaces. Words written this way will automatically link to a page of the same name. If no page exists (yet) the LinkWord will have a question mark next to it which can be clicked to create the page.

These are all LinkWords:

  • HomePage (links to ??Home Page)
  • HowToEditPages (links to How To Edit Pages)
  • RecentChanges (links to ??Recent Changes)
  • MrKershaw (links to ??Mr Kershaw)

Each capital letter must be followed by at least one lower-case letter and the word mustn't contain numbers. This means that none of the following will work as LinkWords:

  • NASA (must be a lower case letter after each upper case letter)
  • HereIAm (same problem)
  • Help (only one word)
  • Over60s (no numbers)

If you need to name a page like this, put square brackets round the linking text:

  • [NASA] -> ??NASA
  • [HereIAm] -> ??Here I Am
  • [Help] -> ??Help
  • [Over60s] -> ??Over 60 s

But it's easier for all if you can think of a way to re-word the page name as a real LinkWord.

When the LinkWord is displayed on the web page it will be split up into its component words: Link Word

If you want to write a LinkWord but don't want it to appear as a link (like all the occurences of 'LinkWord' on this page) you can put a ! before the word and it will appear as plain text.
