How do I stop creating annoying unintended links on words like McDougall?
To prevent the automatic linking, stick an exclamation point in front of the word, like this: !McDougall. Any mixed-case word — that is, any word that starts with a capital, has at least one lower-case letter after that, and then has another capital and more lower-case letters — will be automatically turned into a link by wiki software. Such words are called WikiWords, or sometimes CamelCase (because of their bumpy look). This is a convenient way to create new links to new pages as you go along. Sometimes real words are WikiWords — usually proper names, like MacDonalds and LeSalle. The wiki software will not be able to tell, and will link them anyway. Prevent this by putting an exclamation point in front of the word.
