Really? Can you provide links? I only remember people emphasising
that they don't mind because they think the current work-around
work perfectly for them. I seriously don't see how anyone can
seriously be opposed to having a dictionary with correct spellings. :/
I disagreed,

Polyglot said it could be done but he would vote against it also:

By the way, how does search handle the existence of pages differing
by capitalization? If someone searches for <greek> (v. [1]), which
doesn't exist, are they sent to <Greek>, which does? ... Are users
who are used to case-insensitive search, or don't know the proper
capitalization of the word, sent to <greek> when it is made, when
they might have wanted <Greek> better? Will every word where
capitalization is semantic have to be made into a disambiguation page?
I would *much* prefer that pages, instead of being case-sensitive, be
case-insensitive (even more than they are now, perhaps), with the
page title in title case, and the regular capitalization indicated
inline, as is now normally done.
*Muke!
