Names of pages have to LookLikeThis. It's called a WikiName. If you write a word that LookLikeThis, it will be automatically turned into a link. More details about this you find on HelpForBeginners.

The following pages describe the elements (wiki markup) you can use to get special formatting effects:

HelpOnFormatting - general text formatting rules
HelpOnLinking - external hyperlinks and inline images
HelpOnHeadlines - section headings
HelpOnRules - horizontal rules
HelpOnLists - lists and indented sections
HelpOnTables - tables
HelpOnSmileys - how to insert a * HelpOnMacros - system macros
HelpOnProcessingInstructions - how to influence page formatting
HelpOnXmlPages - how to store pages with XML content and process them via XSLT

To experiment with wiki markup, go to the WikiSandBox and then click on "EditText" at the bottom of the page. Use your browser's "open a new window with this link" feature on the word "WikiSandBox", so you can keep the help pages open side-by-side to the editing window.
