If this is going to be a useful wiki and not another unreadable mess using [[WikiWord]]s, you have to get rid of all habits of using names without spaces in them. Using names in the same form as Wikipedia (that is, the same form as the article about you) is the best way. If these people are actually users, then, they should become [[User:Mark_Dilley]] or whatever. Freedom has limits, and naming conventions need to be rigorous for everyone... | If this is going to be a useful wiki and not another unreadable mess using [[WikiWord]]s, you have to get rid of all habits of using names without spaces in them.

: This is a very clearly-stated opinion. Thank you. I wonder if you (don't know who) could go one step further and explain why you hold this opinion? Obviously the people that have user pages without spaces don't find your opinion to be the obvious one. Maybe you'll help us understand your point of view by saying more? thanks!
