 The old wiki featured CamelCase links. As you can see, the new wiki still does too. But linking by camel-casing keywords is no longer encouraged and we plan to switch that feature off ASAP.  CamelCase makes reading more difficult and the feature often triggers on words that should not be links like "PowerBook", e.g. To link to a page, simply include the page name in double-brackets: %%[[Perl programming]]%% or simply %%[[Perl]]%%.
+===== Namespaces =====
+The dokuwiki engine has a feature called "Namespaces". They are comparable to directories on your disks and help keeping things organized. For example, we now have the Japanese documentation in the [[:jp|jp]] namespace. Usually, links to other pages are always relative to your current namespace. So if you are editing something in the [[:faq]] namespace and create a link like this one %%[[test]]%% the link will point to a page in the faq namespace.
+If you want (or need to) link to the global namespace, you need to prefix the page title with a colon: %%[[:test]]%%.
+You can also nest namespaces. For example, inside the new [[:jp|jp]] namespace, we now have another new namespace: [[:jp::faq|jp:faq]].
