It isn't yet possible in emacs-wiki to be able to make a link like
[[New Link]] point to a file called `New_Link.txt'.  It will instead
point to `New Link', without the extension.

Emacs-wiki supports these sort of double bracket links.  The format is
[[link][description]].  The description may be omitted.  If the link
is an image, it is inlined.  The included texinfo manual might be of
further assistance.

If you really don't want wiki words to be highlighted or interpreted,
you could put something like the following in your configuration file.

  (setq emacs-wiki-name-regexp "!!!!!")

It's a bit of a rough hack, but what it does is only treat the "!!!!!"
string as a WikiWord.  Since this is highly unlikely to occur in real
life, the effect is to disable WikiWords.
