Hallo! It seems to my that behaviour has changed regarding pages from some namespaces. Please log in at [[wikt:special:Login]] and add [[wikt:MediaWiki:AllmessagesnotsupportedDB]] (with upper case "A") to your watchlist. Now click on http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:allmessagesnotsupportedDB&action=purge where a lower case "a" is used. You will see the same text but a *red* message tab and also "watch". *more general request* Personaly I thing that it does not make sense to differentiate between pages with upper and lower case letters in the following namespaces: Special see bug 5132 MediaWiki Image Media User see bug 5134 I thing that differentiating creates more confusion then benefits. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Addendum to comment #0: > *more general request* At the moment you can have two entries in your 'special:Watchlist/edit'. Onece there is no distinction these entries should be "merged".
*note* There is another inconsistency regarding the MediaWiki messages: See [[wikt:is:MediaWiki_talk:Signupend]] [[MediaWiki:signupend]] is *not* equivalent to [[MediaWiki:Signupend]] {{int:signupend}} *is* equivalent to {{int:Signupend}} {{msgnw:MediaWiki:signupend}} is *not* equivalent to {{msgnw:MediaWiki:Signupend}} {{subst:MediaWiki:signupend}} is *not* equivalent to {{subst:MediaWiki:Signupend}} This does not seem very consistent. Lower case usage of {{int:foo}} is used more times at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/Messages.php?view=markup What would happen if both [[wikt:yi:MediaWiki:foo]] and [[wikt:yi:MediaWiki:Foo]] would exist? See [[wikt:yi:MediaWiki_talk:Signupend]]. There {{int:foo}} would disregard the lower case [[MediaWiki:foo]] and use the upper case [[MediaWiki:Foo]]. Please consider deactication of "lower case" titles in some namespaces as described at comment 1: {{ns:Media}}, {{ns:Special}}, {{ns:User}}, {{ns:Image}}, {{ns:MediaWiki}}. REOPENing this bug. Please do not hezitate to change the summary in order to reflect the "confusion" / "problems" when lower case titles are used in some namespaces. Best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
(In reply to comment #2) MediaZilla links to the refered pages: > [[wikt:is:MediaWiki:signupend]] is *not* equivalent to [[wikt:is:MediaWiki:Signupend]] > See [[wikt:yi:MediaWiki_talk:Signupend]]. There {{int:foo}} would disregard the > lower case [[wikt:yi:MediaWiki:foo]] and use the upper case [[wikt:yi:MediaWiki:Foo]].
Marking as FIXED since the MediaWiki namespace no longer has first letter in lowercase as of r57558.
