I was only referring to discussion on the Wiki setup/objectives/ect.,
not POV-Ray help.

Done - wikipov.org is now registered with a * CNAME records only (i.e. no A
record)

How do I change the title of a wikipov page ?

(I want to change the title of the "Iso Surfaces" page to
"Isosurfaces".)

Tor,
A "WikiWord" is created from TwoWords of this format.  A set of characters
with two or more capitalizations.  This then becomes a Wiki link unless you
surround them in <nowiki>TwoWords</nowiki> tags.

When a page is displayed, the title of the page is "shown" as space
separated version of the WikiWord... so TwoWords will cause a page titled
"Two Words".

You can turn off this feature in the UserPreferences by unchecking "Show
pretty wiki links".  The title will then show as "TwoWords".

To truly answer your question would require the answer ...

o Can I (and if so how) can I create a page which is composed of an
arbitrary string as the WikiWord ... eg. "Isosurface"?

And ... unfortunately, I don't know yet :-(

scenes and objects.

Just so that newcomers can get some ideas on what to render =)

Please feel free to add or remove suggestions to/from my list.

The "Reflective sphere over checkered plane" list item may
need a page of it's own ;)

BTW a short cut for this is ~TwoWords (the tilde stops TwoWords becoming a
wiki link)

[[Isosurface]] (use dbl. square brackets to force a wiki word)

Watching the wiki evolve has been fasicinating.. I'd have never guessed 
that a system like this could actually work out for the better. Its nice 
to see the POV-Ray "collective" adding their own things to it as it 
continues on.
