standard spelling, and titles of a single word required abnormally

capitalizing one of the letters (e.g. "WiKi" instead of "Wiki"). Some


wiki implementations attempt to improve the display of camel case
page titles and links by reinserting spaces and possibly also
reverting to lower case, but this simplistic method is not able to
correctly present

Thave authorized infringement, especially if the wiki is primarily


used to infringe copyrights or obtains a direct financial benefit, such
as advertising revenue, from infringing activities. [3] In the United
States, wikis may benefit from Section 230 of the Communications
Decency Act, which protects sites that engage in "Good Samaritan"
policing of harmful material, with no requirement on the quality or
quantity of such self-policing.[55] It has also been argued that a
wiki's enforcement of certain rules, such as anti-bias, verifiability,
reliable sourcing, and no-original-research policies, could pose legal
risks.[56] When defamation occurs on a wiki, theoretically, all users
of the wiki can be held liable, because any of them had the ability to
remove or amend the defamatory material from the "publication". It
remains to be seen whether wikis will be regarded as more akin to
an internet service provider, whirganization. Wiki implementations
can provide one or more ways to categorize or tag pages to support
the maintenance of such index pages, such as a backlink feature
which displays all pages that link to a given page. Adding categories
or tags to a page makes it easier for other users to find it.

Most wikis allow the titles of pages to be searched amongst, and


some of France]]. This syntax was adopted by a number of later
wiki engines.

It is typically possible for users of a wiki to create links to pages that


do not yet exist, as a way to invite the creation of those pages. Such
links are usually differentiated visually in some fashion, such as
being colored red instead of the default blue, which was the case in
the original WikiWikiWeb, or by appearing as a question mark next
to the linked words.
