Capitalisation Redirects

Drew, you don't need to create redirects for miscapitalisations because searches are case-insensitive. Redirects are only needed for alternative spellings etc, not alternative capitalisations. Caesar Schinas 12:50, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Every time I search for an article in caps it takes me to a blank page. I think the first letter is the only one that is case insensitive. Plus, it leaves redlinks whenever it is miscapitalised in articles.Drew R. Smith 13:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

This is true for links like Natural Number, but not if you search for "Natural Number" in the search box at the top of the page. Peter Schmitt 13:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Odd. A search for Hawaiian Bible, after creation of Hawaiian bible, and before the redirect, gave me a message that no page existed with that name.Drew R. Smith 13:18, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

If you enter teh name and press "search", it will search for the string you entered, ignoring capitalisation, but it will only show a message at the top saying that a page with the exact title exist if the capitalisation is the same. However, if you enter the name and press "go", it will take you to any page with that name, regardless of capitalisation. Caesar Schinas 13:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
