The User parameter of Special:Log is case sensitive
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: srbauer

Description:
If you type a lemma or a username in wikipedia the first character is normally
not case sensitive - when querying the log pages (tested with block) for users,
the query is case sensitive for the first character.

Testcase:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial%3ALog&type=block&user=srbauer&page=
no result
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial%3ALog&type=block&user=Srbauer&page=
correct return

This is no serious bug, but it is at least very confusing.

Hmm, the testcase mentioned above with lower case username still returns an
empty list - if the 4-days-old fix is active, then it didn't fix this problem.

This bug was not fixed - the fix is about the special page names, while this bug
is about the users parameter. I can still reproduce this bug both in hewiki and
my test wiki. Reopening and changing summary.
