'split_page_names' inserts spaces even when not rendering a link

[smyers@…]

If, in your trac.ini, you set both 'split_page_names' and 'ignore_missing_pages' to True, then "CamelCase" will render properly as "Camel Case", but "NotACamelCaseLink" (an innocuous CamelCase string, not a link to a page) will render improperly, as "Not A Camel Case Link".

The split_page_names behavior is observed even when a CamelCase string is determined not to be an existing page.

I base my statement that this behavior is improper on the documentation on the CamelCase page (emphasis mine):

There's an option (split_page_names in [wiki]) to automatically insert space characters between the words of a CamelCase link when rendering the link.

This suggests that space characters should not be automatically inserted when a link is not rendered.

I guess you meant "CamelCaseButNotAnExistingWikiPage", as "NotACamelCase" is indeed not in CamelCase and therefore won't be recognized as a wiki link in the first place…

But yes, in the case of "CamelCaseButNotAnExistingWikiPage", when both 'split_page_names' and 'ignore_missing_pages' are set to True, space characters will be inserted and that's not correct, as you've explained.

That is indeed the case…I was having trouble coming up with concise wording there. Thanks for the clarification.

The above patch should fix the issue.

Remy: I'm getting again familiar with that code, so that's a step closer to #6884 and #4416 :-)

I just applied this to my 11.2.1 instance and I can confirm that this has been fixed.

Also, holy bejeebus that was fast. Thanks!

My apologies, I'm too used to my own trac that knows me so very well. All the above anonymous posts were made by me.
