Bug 1574: Account cannot be created with initial lower case letter
Brions explains why the first letter of an account is always capitalized
(regardles of the setting of $wgCapitalLinks).
However for account 'Foo' both pages 'user:Foo' *and* 'user:foo' (and all talk
pages and subpages) can exist side by side when $wgCapitalLinks=false; . This is
quite confusing and many errors can result out of this.
example:
The change
http://yi.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=user_talk:gangleri&diff=7849&oldid=4730
was generating a "You have a new message" for account [[wikt:yi:user:Gangleri]]
with the "diff" link
http://yi.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=user_talk:Gangleri&diff=cur
which is irelevant for that change.
*request*
- Disalow lowercase pagenames in the user and user talk namespace if
$wgCapitalLinks=false; This request handles also subpages.
- *If* possible: Please move all affected pages with a script before aplaying
the change; please do not overwrite existing pages but use the same mechanism
used when changing namespaces (and both pages
'<translated_project_namespace>:foo' and 'project:foo' exists). Thanks in advance!
