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]], [[:Category:WikiIdea|Wiki Ideas]] and [[:Category:Wiki People|WikiPeople]]. CamelCase is clearly a WikiIdea as it was the primary way to create links in the 6 years prior to [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] and the initial year of that projects history. ~~ [[MarkDilley]] | I am not really feeling the need to delete this page.

: 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?

:: I filed this deletion request | :: I filed this deletion request before 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. --[[User:Bachsau|Bachsau]] 00:06, 30 June 2012 (PDT) | ||

:::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.
