[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #4 from [email protected] --- Each username is also a page in the User: namespace. As other commenters point out, you can change the capitalization rules for some namespaces, but this comment in includes/Namespace.php before that code is pretty definitive: * These namespaces should always be first-letter capitalized, now and * forevermore. Historically, they could've probably been lowercased too, * but some things are just too ingrained now. :) You can use lowercase [[User:david wright]] in wiki text and it will resolve fine, but when MediaWiki presents your username it'll use David wright. This is an unexpected fact of MediaWik that some wikis try to explain it in a blizzard of rules and guidelines about usernames. Perhaps the create account form could show the username you'll actually get ("David") as you type. So this bug is valid, but I'm being honest and marking WONTFIX. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
