Faux Topic Name
.
Summary
a word that follows the pattern of a TopicName, but shouldn't be turned into a link.
Category

GoHere

Many words follow the pattern of a TopicName (i.e. they are PascalCased), but are not in fact meant to be a link to a WikiTopic. One common example of this is the plural form of three letter abbreviations, for example TLAs; this is not intended to be a link, but because it follows the PascalCased pattern, FlexWiki thinks it is a TopicName.

One option is to enclose the FauxTopicName in a double set of double-quotation marks to tell FlexWiki to not treat the contents as a link, as shown here

 ""TLAs""

WikiStrategyForAbbreviations describes another approach for dealing with artifacts like TLAs.

WikiFauxAmis are different from FauxTopicNames. Consider this pair of WikiTopics - TeamInAction vs. TeamInaction. One topic or two?
