The reason this matters is that I am using a different on disk pattern

Maybe you can call it inconsistent use of spaces
(and words beginning with a capital letter),
but it is a feature of PmWiki to allow this flexibility
in link markup, and could not be called exceptions.
If you use different $MakePageNamePatterns, can you not
make an exemption and use PmWiki's standard for all
pages in the PmWiki group, rather than asking to change
all of the documentation pages to adhere to a standard
which PmWiki does not uphold?
You are arguing circularly. The very flexibility which PmWiki offers is
why the ambiguity needs sorting.
Basically *because* you have the flexibility to override
$MakePageNamePatterns, it's then important to be consistent between
"PmWiki" and "Pm Wiki" since both may point to different pages if people
make use of this flexibility
Additionally arguing not to define the correct answer is just arguing in
favour of ambiguity for the sake of it. Defining "PmWiki" to be correct
and "Pm Wiki" to be inconsistent should hurt no-one?
Finally it DOES matter for people who turn on the $SpaceWikiWords
because it leads to inconsistent presentation. Defining a consistent
set of words not to space will give greater consistency with this option
turned on or off
I hope this sounds reasonable?
