You guessed correcly, and thanks for your reply here and on my personal 
mail.

That is indeed the case.

Unfortunately for me, I love the WikiWord features, which I find very 
useful and congenial in writing wiki pages.

I have done this and it indeed "corrects" the problem, unfortunately it 
is not acceptable for my wiki.

That would be really complicated, and I would still get problems with 
DataQuery, I think.

Unfortunately, after looking at them, yes, I could do that, but then I 
would probably lose the styles. Also, that would require an edit at each 
new version, rather annoying.

So I started to toy with one possibility that seems mentioned in the 
local.php file, namely the possibility to disable the WikiWord 
processing for only some words, namely those of the classes above.

##  If you want to disable WikiWords matching a pattern, you can use
##  something like the following.  Note that the first argument has to
##  be different for each call to Markup().  The example below disables
##  WikiWord links like COM1, COM2, COM1234, etc.
# Markup('COM\d+', '<wikilink', '/\\bCOM\\d+/', "Keep('$0')");

I have tried things like:
Markup('DQedit', '<wikilink', '/DQedit/', "Keep('$0')");

But it does not work. Any suggestions about this ?

Thanks in advance,
