Double Word Link Pattern

Consider the doubling of single words to form LinkPatterns. Although it's not common practice, it can be found at the heart of Wiki. See: WikiWiki, CategoryCategory.

Example: JunitJunit? (for Junit, instead of JavaUnit)

Contrast with these (less-beautiful) single-word examples: WiKi, LeGo?, LaLa?, and WaWa?. They are all ugly.

Actually, Neither WikiWiki nor CategoryCategory is a DoubleWordLinkPattern.


Are there really any instances of DoubleWordLinkPattern?

The instances above are

 DoubleWords?
 Hyperlinks
 and constitute a pattern

If that isn't a DoubleWordLinkPattern, then what else is? (remember RefactorByCondensingQuestionAnswerPair when answering)

 (note the title of this page may well be a MultipleWordLinkPattern?.
