That's the normal behaviour.  The wiki breaks words in in-fixed
upper-case letters.  Where you have a string, it intelligently
construes them as an acronym, followed by a new word which begins with
an upper-case letter.  Imaging a page or group named AIDSAwareness.
The wiki would break it:  AIDS Awareness, as you'd expect and require.

If TODO in your example is meant to refer to things that need to be
done, make it ToDos-LandManagement.  If it's an acronym, maybe
TODOS-LandManagement or TODO-LandManagement would be an acceptable
work-around?
