Hi,

We had a similar requirement and solved it back with phpwiki 1.3.3 by
changing the definition of $WikiNameRegexp in index.php

With more recent releases there is WIKI_NAME_REGEXP in config/config.ini

It takes some tweaking to arrive at the right compromise between the
regex being too wide or too narrow.  I think too wide is worse than
too narrow: you can always force linking to a page by putting the name
in [brackets], which is less painful than having to escape every other
word on a page...

We have been using this for years now:

WIKI_NAME_REGEXP = "(?<![[:alnum:]])[[:upper:]][[:alnum:]]*?[[:lower:]][[:alnum:]]*?[[:upper:]][[:alnum:]]*(?![[:alnum:]])";

Btw, the default is 

WIKI_NAME_REGEXP = "(?<![[:alnum:]])(?:[[:upper:]][[:lower:]]+){2,}(?![[:alnum:]])"
 
Hth,

$_ = "Campo Weijerman [rfc822://nl.ibm.com/]" and tr-[:]/-<@>-d and print;
