Description:
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]]

*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]]

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.
