From Oracle FAQ
A Wiki link is an easily formatted link to other articles within the wiki or external to the wiki site.
[edit] Examples
You can either use the name of an article as a link, or you can pipe the link so that text appears that is different from the article's title. Links to external sites are formatted - and appear slightly differently.

[edit] Capitalization
The wiki software is somewhat sensitive to capitalization:
- To make it easier to use article titles in sentences, the first character of a title is not case sensitive; for example, wiki and Wiki go to the same article; so do Oracle and oracle.
- The rest of the letters are case sensitive. For example, Oracle and ORACLE do not go to the same article; neither do SQL and sql.
