Search for Camelcase ends up with newpage (ex. search for WikiFormatter)

[anonymous]

When you search for a Word in CamelCase you get redirected to create a "new Page".

Please don't do that! (or at least provide a solution to remove it from the core-code manualy)

1. It makes problems with JavaClasses, WinAPI-Functions, …
2. It's neither professional nor elegant
3. …

[Matthew Good]

If you feel like dealing with this professionally you can search for the related existing tickets or ask on the MailingList or IrcChannel about this, however I don't intend to dignify this flamebait with a response.

in your trac.ini do

    no_camelcase = true

There should be a Script which converts all CamelCase (if there is a page to it) to [wiki:link] and leave all others basicaly (Class Names etc.) alone…

No more Camel Case

[Christian Boos]

Well, ignoring the offending tone of our anonymous reporter, this "feature" seems to be requested often enough (even in more polite manner) to be at least considered. While I'm not at all in this school of thought (to me, a wiki without CamelCase doesn't even look like a Wiki :) ), I think we could keep the discussion opened. That discussion is actually two fold:

• disable CamelCase entirely in the wiki (like the patch suggests)
• disable the quick jump to a Wiki page when a CamelCase word is entered. This is even considered as a feature by some, in order to be able to quickly create a new page (and of course, this is the best way to

end

up with orphaned pages…)

(/me cleaning up the description a bit…)

I agree that CamelCase links are the "soul" of a Wiki, but I think disabling the quick jump Wiki page when a CamelCase word is entered would be really nice. Should we open a separate ticket for this?

[Christian Boos]

I would say, let's keep this one focused on the disable the quick jump to a Wiki page when a CamelCase word is entered topic, as the summary and the description indicate. The disabling of CamelCase links is already discussed at length in #476. I'll copy there the patch proposed above, for further discussion. In the meantime, the disabling of quickjump would be something like that:

cboos: I don't think we should be special-caseing the quickjump method for this, but should actually be switching that method to use the WikiSystem's known syntax providers instead of all the hardcoded quickjump tests. In that case if CamelCase was disabled as a TracLinks syntax, then it would not be recognized for the quickjump, but I think that all TracLinks syntaxes should be treated equally. Maybe we should disable the quickjump when using the "Search" page and only use it on the search box above the menu.
