Oh, sorry I misunderstood you. You put brackets around both. The old
way worked only on CamelCase and did not use brackets at all. The new
way only uses brackets and ignored case. If you notice, the extension
name even changed from "wikilink" to "wikilinks" (the "s" was added)
so that old code would not work without changes with the new
extension. The point is, this is actually a different extension.

As Yuri pointed out, this is actually considered a better wikilink
syntax. Of course, you are free to implement the old syntax if you
can. We ran into a few technical difficulties with some of the other
changes in the code, which is why we dropped the old. But we'd be be
happy to add it back in if you can get it to work.
