 When writing a ticket description or adding a comment to a ticket, TRAC
 currently converts any CamelCase words into links.  We often have such
 words when talking about the ET, as thorn names are of this form.  Since
 there are no pages with these names, such links are broken and render in
 grey with a question-mark following them.  I have not seen anyone use a
 CamelCase link deliberately in a ticket (until this one!).  To make these
 words render properly, it is necessary to escape them by prepending a "!"
 character.  This is tedious, and is distracting when reading the email
 version of the ticket.

 I propose that the setting [https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/wiki/TracIni
 #wiki-section ignore_missing_pages] be used in the TracIni configuration
 file.  This will cause CamelCase words which do not correspond to existing
 pages to render as plain text.  This means an extra step when creating new
 pages, but that is rare in comparison to writing tickets and comments.
