**Description:**
Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_74#Several_changes_to_file_naming - a proposal to fix certain consistency issues with file naming. The main points which cause unnecessary confusion are filenames which vary solely in the file extension, but are of the same file type: `File:X.jpg, File:X.jpeg, File:X.JPG` should all refer to the same file, but currently do not.
a. Multiple filetype extensions for the same filetype: As it stands, two
separate users could upload two separate images of two separate subjects as
File:TestImage.jpg and File:TestImage.jpeg. There is no reason for this.
b. Case sensitivity in filetype extensions: As it stands, and as does happen, two separate images can be uploaded as File:TestImage.jpg and File:TestImage.JPG. This has the potential to cause even more problems that the above situations. There is no reason why filetype extensions should be case sensitive.
Note: this is split off from Comment 71 of task T6421.
