-CamelCase is the original wiki convention for creating hyperlinks, with the additional requirement that the capitals are followed by a lower-case letter; hence “AlabamA” and “ABc” will not be links.
+New wiki links are automatically created when concatenating capitalized words, such that for example the words 'Camel' and 'Case' concatenated form a link to this CamelCase page.

+!CamelCase is the original wiki convention for creating hyperlinks, with the additional requirement that the capital letters are followed by a lower-case letter; hence "AlabamA" and "ABc" will not be links.
 
-Some people dislike linking by CamelCase.  While Trac remains faithful to the original Wiki style, it provides a number of ways to accomodate users with different preferences:
- * There's an option (`ignore_missing_pages` in the [wiki:TracIni#wiki-section "[wiki]"] section of TracIni) to simply ignore links to missing pages when the link is written using the CamelCase style, instead of that word being replaced by a gray link followed by a question mark.[[BR]]
-   That can be useful when CamelCase style is used to name code artifacts like class names and there's no corresponding page for them.
- * There's an option (`split_page_names` in the  [wiki:TracIni#wiki-section "[wiki]"] section of TracIni) to automatically insert space characters between the words of a CamelCase link when rendering the link.
+== Customizing the Wiki behavior
+
+While Trac remains faithful to the original Wiki style, it also provides a number of ways to accommodate users with different preferences:
+ * To prevent the creation of a link for the CamelCase word, prefix the word with an exclamation mark (`!`): `!CamelCase`.
+ * By default a CamelCase word with no corresponding Wiki page will be rendered as a gray link followed by a question mark. This is useful for example when the CamelCase style is used to name code artefacts like class names, and a Wiki page is expected to exist to document each class. The behavior can be configured through the [TracIni#wiki-ignore_missing_pages-option "[wiki] ignore_missing_pages"] option in TracIni.
+ * To automatically insert space characters between the words of a CamelCase link when rendering the link, enable [TracIni#wiki-split_page_names-option "[wiki] split_page_names"] of TracIni.
  * Creation of explicit Wiki links is also easy, see WikiPageNames for details.
- * In addition, Wiki formatting can be disabled completely in some places (e.g. when rendering commit log messages). See `wiki_format_messages` in the [wiki:TracIni#changeset-section "[changeset]"] section of TracIni.
+ * Wiki formatting can be disabled completely in some places, for example when rendering commit log messages. See the [TracIni#changeset-wiki_format_messages-option "[wiki] wiki_format_messages"] option in TracIni.
