The one programming language that I know of in which you can execute both x and y in a "IF t THEN x ELSE y" (not the actual MUMPS commands). That happens because the "t" test sets the value of $TEST (a global variable). The "THEN" part checks if $TEST is true, and if so executes "x". The "ELSE" part checks $TEST and if its false executes "y". If "t" is true "x" calls a subroutine which has a IF that sets $TEST to false then you get thrown in the deepest places of debugging hell.
What was wrong with MediaWiki-style links when they got started was such syntax didn't yet exist. That wiki is the original C2 wiki, where the idea and name 'wiki' originated.
Their CamelCaseLinks predated anyone using any other kind of WikiLinks... so by the time other styles arose, there was already a habit and culture there around CamelCasing. Also, that style still nails an interesting corner point in the wiki design possibility space: dead-simple and obvious linking syntax.
RegisterFooWriterWithComponentFactory should read RgstFWWCmpFctry to stay in C/C++ compliance. Since you used the word "Factory" as well as unabbreviated words, you must use Java or at least Java standards.
That c2 wiki was one of the first made (actually--I think it is a descendent of the first) and is maintained by ward cunningham. I used to go there quite a bit, and actually added the "microsoft mouse driver" bit. Oddly, the formatting is completely changed. I don't know why someone would stick a newline after "Possibly the most".
And they specifically cite the $TEST variable????

And THAT is a software masterpiece?
