you can do it like this. alternatively, you can use the new (1.4) $wgNavigationLinks configuration setting; see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Quickbar#Changing_the_makeup_of_the_Quickbar… doing it this way is more likely to not break when you upgrade (because you don't need to modify any source files); however, it's slightly less flexible.

Is there a way to just turn off case sensitivity on searches? The suggested solution seems to be to make redirect pages for all the possible lower-case queries, but that seems way too much work to get around something that I don't even want there in the first place.

On my site, and even on Wikipedia, if you search for something using the search box that can be found on the left of all the pages, the results are case sensitive. Yes, it will ignore the case of the first letter in the query, but with the remaining letters, the case is important. Is this something different from the "full text search index"? For instance, on wikipedia, a search for "Albert Einstein" takes you directly to his page, but "albert einstein" only works because of a redirect

It'll even find [[albert einstein]] if you search for "aLbErT eInStEiN". That is, the go search is case-insensitive, but if there are multiple matches, the one it returns may not be the one you were looking for. (It seems that if you happen to hit upon the exact casing of an article title, it'll take you straight to it.) For example, Wikipedia has full articles about "latex" (at [[Latex]]) and "LaTeX" (at [[LaTeX]]). * go-searching for "latex" will take you to [[Latex]] * go-searching for "LATEX" will take you to [[Latex]] * go-searching for "lAtEx" will take you to [[Latex]], etc., but: * go-searching for "LaTeX" will take you to [[LaTeX]] When there's no ambiguity, case-insensitive search works just like you might expect it to: go-searching for "LaTiN" will take you to [[Latin]]. *Muke! -- website: http://frath.net/ LiveJournal: http://kohath.livejournal.com/ deviantArt: http://kohath.deviantart.com/ FrathWiki, a conlang and conculture wiki: http://wiki.frath.net/ _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
