You Link As You Think by turning each key phrase into Smashed Together Words (eliminate punctuation, capitalize each component word), if your WikiEngine supports Automatic Linking. (key page: Automatic Linking)

aka Camel Case model for creating a WikiWord.

But there are plenty of edge-cases requiring examination - see Wiki Name Examples.
