Maybe someone can think of a way to create

of mediawiki. That's by the way one of the
reasons why not-yet-so-big
Estonian wiktionary has not switched over to case-sensitivite first

yet.
There could be use for a magic word similar to PAGENAMEE which would
return
the page title with spaces substituted by
'+' characters.
Hi Klaus, as much as I know there is a bot that can revert everything to
lower case (see the mails of Biron today). So creating all pages in
lower case should be possible without problems.
Thanks Sabine. Well yes, conversion should not be a problem, and a bot could
also add those see-also links we were thinking of, step-by-step. We just
hoped we could temporarily display a message (possibly using
MediaWiki:Sitenotice) suggesting the user to try the alternatives with the
alternatives listed as direct links or giving a link to a query that would
search for (all kinds of) alternatives.
If you then need help to
have a look at the German words that often have
capital initial letters
... let me know.
I noted you already use templates like {{-en-}} so I suppose the
category for German is there.
We do not have much German words yet, so those can be dealed with manually.
Do you have a template list somewhere?
We do not have a template guide, although it would be a good idea to have
it. You can check the template list at Special:Allpages

Ciao, Sabine
Tšau :),
Klaus.
