Description judah 2005-09-05 03:33:31 UTC
First, thank you for making such a cool tool and making it available to others. 

I have an issue that is very frustrating. In the wikipedia site I have just
joined, the site has automatically capitalized my username. I do *NOT* want it
to autocapitalize my username. Please turn this option OFF by default. 

entered "myusername" and it was changed to "Myusername". it is not the same thing.
Comment 1 Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2005-09-11 19:38:47 UTC
WONTFIX, the first letter in usernames is capitalized regardless of the global
case-sensativity setting to avoid future compatability issues (e.g. single login)
Comment 2 judah 2005-09-12 00:14:35 UTC
It is very offensive to me, in my culture, to have a name misspelled. Having
said that, I can understand compatibility issues as I am a software engineer and
I know that these things are hard to change. Please consider a way to fix this
in the future...

Some of the Wikipedias (en: and vi: for instance) now make it clear on their
[[Special:Userlogin]] pages that your nickname will be capitalized. That alone
will solve most headaches. Unfortunately, that notice wasn't there when I first
signed up... judah, it's now possible for sysops to change the nicknames of
users; you could request a nickname that you're comfortable with capitalized.
Comment 4 judah 2005-09-12 04:04:03 UTC
Thanks Minh. I do not want to change my name. I do not like it but I will deal
with it.
