Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2013-07-07 21:06:06 UTC

If you have the [[Hands-on universe|Hands-On Universe]] link, it will report that Hands-On universe doesn't exist (which it does). This is probably because it matches on the different case: Hands-On Universe and then stops comparing.

Comment 1 Derk-Jan Hartman 2013-07-08 16:09:33 UTC

Other examples: [[A]], [[B]], [[To]], [[Hi]]

I filed this as bug 51013.

Comment 3 Chris McKenna 2013-08-09 18:31:27 UTC

This also happens with redirects. 
For example, [[Github]] is a redirect to [[GitHub]] but [[github]] is shown as not existing.

See attachment 13013 [details] to bug 52251

*** Bug 52251 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 5 Chris McKenna 2013-08-09 18:34:37 UTC

Forgot to add that redirects that differ other than by capitalisation are shown - e.g. [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]], a redirect to [[Elizabeth II]], appears in the suggestions list.

Comment 6 Chris McKenna 2013-08-09 19:25:47 UTC

Per discussion at Bug 52596 the presence of a redirect with a title of <=3 characters /may/ prevent an article with that title (but differently capitalised) appearing in the suggestions list.

For example the existence of the [[Fra]] redirect may be what is preventing the [[FRA]] article appearing in the list (something is, and the redirect is one theory).

Comment 7 James Forrester 2013-08-29 20:43:44 UTC

This was fixed as part of the tweaks to the link inspector earlier this month.
