The wiki software automatically changes spaces to underscores (_) in internal links (Need to check for inter wiki links). So <nowiki>[[Relic_and_data_sites]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Relic and data sites]]</nowiki> are equivalent. Eliminating the need to change the underscore version into a piped link for nice readability, providing a "cleaner" source. | The wiki software automatically changes spaces to underscores (_) in internal links (Need to check for inter wiki links).
