Hi all,
Others must have noticed this - is this a recognised issue?
Basically: Given some article whose title is in title case (eg, Lyon
Metro), you can type the lower case version in the go/search box, and
still get there. However, if you link to [[lyon metro]] in an article,
it will show up as a red link.
This has the effect that it's actually difficult to create the article
*other* than going through the redlink - if you try and type in the
name, you get silently redirected.
Would it be wrong to be redirected towards the other cased version
instead of having a redlink?
Surely the most useful solution would be to make the Go button redirect
non-silently, i.e. in the same way as a real redirect. A wikilink [[Lyon
metro]] would still be a redlink, but typing "Lyon metro" in the Go box
or the actual URL should bring up [[Lyon Metro]] with the note,
"(redirected from _Lyon metro_)", where "Lyon metro" is, of course, a
redlink. You can then use that to create the page if you wanted to.
