Description Roy 2008-10-23 03:33:59 UTC 
I have redirected [[definitely]] and [[definitly]] to [[definite]]. When entering the redirect I entered "Denfinite" not "definite" and it would not redirect to the definite page (wow is this a mouthfull or what). I believe on most wikis this is automatically read as the same thing hence report.

P.S. When I entered keywords on this bug form (related to the bug) the next page said "redirect is not a valid keywords" and wiped all the stuff I just wrote.
Comment 1 Roy 2008-10-23 03:36:00 UTC 
just to clarify I have only found this bug on simple.wiktionary (and havent checked anywhere else... do not believe it will show up so much anywhere else anyway as encyclopedias are capital letters by default)

Most wiktionaries are case sensitive. This is not a bug, this is a feature. E.g. in German, "Weg" and "weg" are different words with different meanings.
