Depends on the implantation, but I would imagine this would apply to all projects.

It's unlikely we would fix this is a non-backwards compatible way. MediaWiki is not just used by Wikimedia folks. We also have to make sure this doesn't break files on non-Wikimedia wikis where they wouldn't be aware of the change. ---- My idea on how to implement this would be (This is off the top of my head, I haven't really looked into the issues involved) *When uploading new files. The file extension is normalized (If you try to upload Foo.JPeG in gets saved as Foo.jpg). [This part should be easy] *When linking/looking at/whatever for a file named Bar.JpEG, MediaWiki first checks to see if Bar.JpEg exists, and if not assumes you meant Bar.jpg and uses that instead. [This part might be a little more tricky. Have to check to make sure that code doesn't assume that if a file is returned it matches the requested name] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
