$wgCapitalLinks = false; Allow non forced capitalization In 1.12 it was working for user names too, when I upgraded to 1.16 it was no longer working for user names, it it forced capitalization for user names. Still working on pages.
It's not a bug, it's a feature http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCapitalLinks Note: This settings affects all namespaces except Special, (and as of 1.16) Mediawiki and User. In versions before 1.16, it affects the MediaWiki namespace, but remember that MediaWiki only recognizes pages in upper case. So if you for example edit "MediaWiki:sidebar" you will see nothing has changed, but editing "MediaWiki:Sidebar" works normally. Note: $wgCapitalLinkOverrides can override this setting on a per namespace basis. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCapitalLinkOverrides
In 1.12.0 it works for user names too Since 1.13 it doesn't work for user names Updating to 1.16 has broken user rights so for now I test 1.13 1.14 & 1.15 to see if it breaks user rights too.
I have written i localsettings $wgCapitalLinkOverrides[ User ] = false; And users still are capitalized. What am I doing wrong?
$wgCapitalLinkOverrides[ NS_USER ] = false;
$wgCapitalLinkOverrides has no affect on user and mediawiki namespaces (According to the docs anyways).
