Dear All.
I'm a local administrator (from december 2022) in a small Karakalpak Wikipedia. I'd like to ask your help about the current usage of the letter «I» (capital for «i») in kaawiki.
Until 2016 year in Karakalpak alphabet the capital letter for «i» (small) was «İ». And that time it was established in kaawiki configuration (it's working until now) that, if a user writes [[italiya]] (with small «i») in the text, the internal link goes to the page İtaliya. It was correct as per rules of that time.
But in 2016 government and Karakalpak linguists accepted to use «I» form (as in English) instead of «İ».
So now all pages, which starts with «İ» we are moving to new pages with «I». But that old rule [[italiya]] ===> İtaliya is still working and making uncomfortable the editing process. Now when we are linking by using words, that starts with small «i», it will link to the page, which starts with the capital letter «İ», which doesn't exist in Karakalpak Language from 2016.
Is it possible to fix so that, if we link by writing [[italiya]], it goes to the page Italiya, but not to İtaliya?
I put it to a discussion and got support of another administrator (please see the bottom of [https://kaa.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:H%C3%A1zirgi_h%C3%A1diyseler ]) and there is no objections by other users.
Thank you in advance.
