Bug ID: 44659
Summary: Semantic MediaWiki Property for case insensitive
strings
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Semantic MediaWiki

Mobile Platform: ---
There are many cases where I want to store strings as properties in SMW but the
case sensitivity causes numerous problems. The most common case for this is a
"Has tag" property where I store tags entered by the user. The existing case
sensitive match makes this harder to use (although autocompletion does help
that out).
It would be really nice to be able to set this as a property type or some
option to a property. Something like [[Has type::String match]]. (Not sure,
names are hard.)
I realize I could force lowercase on all tags on both search and set, but that
presents a confusing user experience. The key with this is that searching
should be case insensitive, but case should be preserved for display.
