Can we have some consistency with how IPv6 usernames are displayed?
Some of the logs use lowercase, e.g.
MSGJ (talk | contribs | block) blocked 2601:199:100:87ce:7c5f:7ad1:ede:f38b (talk)
But the userpages are uppercase, e.g.
User talk:2601:199:100:87CE:7C5F:7AD1:EDE:F38B
It would be good to choose one method and be consistent.
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T41017 IPv6 addresses should use lowercase hexadecimal digits | |||
| Open | None | T46161 IPv6 at some places lower case and at other places in upper case | |||
| Open | None | T122804 Display of IPv6 usernames is inconsistent: lowercase vs. uppercase |
Every address in English Wikipedia article (besides the infographic at the very top) is lowercase, so it seems preferable to go for lowercase everywhere. Also follows the pseudo-rule of lowercase-only domain names.
