Anyone have other ideas/suggestions?
Here's one that's almost unrelated, but your post has reminded me of it.
We've had a number of requests for titles with an initial lowercase letter.
I would like to see a checkbox next to "Watch this article" on the edit
page, labelled "Title starts with lowercase letter". Clicking on
"save" with
this checked would set a flag in the cur table, instructing
getPrefixedText() to set the initial letter to lowercase. So [[IMac]] and
[[iMac]] still go to the same place, but when the software has to display
the title, it comes out as [[iMac]].
Alternately you could just have a link in the sidebar, like for page
protection -- but please make sure the change is registered in RC.
IMHO there is no sense to have 2 articles that differ only by capitalization -
there should be some "canonical" form, but all links, no matter what
capitalization they have, should go to the same article.
That's exactly what Tim is proposing - the only change is that the canonical
form can be decided for each word separately rather than being always said
at 'with capital'.
