Here are some differences between Mediawiki and Phpwiki:
* Italics are ##//## (but you can also use ##''## like in Wikipedia)
* Bold is ##~*~*## (you //cannot use// ##'''## like in Wikipedia)
* Line break is ##~\~\## in Wikicreole, ##~<br />## in Mediawiki
-* There is **no automatic capitalisation** of first character of page name. Pages *<tt>
~[~[foo~]~]</tt>*
and *<tt>
~[~[Foo~]~]</tt>*
are different.
-* A space in a page name in not equivalent to an underscore. Pages *<tt>
~[~[foo bar~]~]</tt>*
and *<tt>
~[~[foo_bar~]~]</tt>*
are different. We recommend to use a space in the page names.

in Phpwiki (table of contents, redirections, back links, etc.).
