WikiLinks provide easy linking between pages of the wiki. To create a
[[WikiLink]], just put the name of the page to link to in double brackets.
-For example "\[[WikiLink]]".
+For example `\[[WikiLink]]`.
-Wiki links may not contain spaces. The associated file must be the wiki
-link with any capital letters converted to lower case plus the file
-extention.

-If you ever need to write something like "\[[WikiLink]] without creating a
-wikilink, just prefix it with a "\", like "\\\\[[WikiLink]]".

There are some special [[SubPage/LinkingRules]] that come into play when

don't need to worry about getting the case the same, and can capitalise
links at the start of a sentence, and so on.
-It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the
-page name as the link text. For example "\[[foo_bar|SandBox]]" links to the
