Talk:CamelCase

I am not really feeling the need to delete this page. The stated reason that WikiIndex is not an encyclopedia does not resonate with me. WikiIndex is about Wiki, Wiki Ideas and WikiPeople. CamelCase is clearly a WikiIdea as it was the primary way to create links in the 6 years prior to Wikipedia and the initial year of that projects history. ~~ MarkDilley
- I checked the history of the page and that part was added in 2006, during the onslaught of people thinking that Wikipedia was the way to run a wiki. I think the intention of that statement is WikiIndex is not Wikipedia, in terms of its culture. - Anyone else around that remembers that? Best, MarkDilley
- I filed this deletion request bevor I noticed the bigger concept of "WikiIdeas" you started. I think it's okay to remove the template until we found a solution for that. To me, your "WikiIdeas" just look like guidelines or best practises, that should be mentioned in the WikiIndex namespace and explained on wikipedia. They are meta information, not content, and therefore shouldn't be in the main space. --Bachsau 00:06, 30 June 2012 (PDT)
- This needs keeping, though this article needs moving to the 'WikiIndex:' namespace. I'll delete the 'delete' tag! Hoof Hearted • talk2HH 07:57, 9 September 2012 (PDT)
- Don't think it needs to be moved to the WikiIndex namespace - it is a core Wiki function, historically and for some wiki software. ~~ MarkDilley
- Hmmmmm . . . I think we'll have to agree to disagree on ^^^ that. Personally, I think CamelCase might be prevalent in American english (because American english seems to capitalise the first letter of many words), but in other languages (including non-American english variants) capitalisation is considerably more restrained. And I'm not at all sure CC is used in Wikipedia - which is arguably the mother of all wikis (especially relating to editing activity). So I'm finding it difficult to agree that CamelCase is a "core wiki function" - though I confess my wiki expertise really is only with MediaWiki/Wikia.
