--- Comment #7 from James Forrester <[email protected]> ---
Clarifying what this is in the title:

| New link annotations' anchors get their first character capitalised, even if
you didn't want that

->

| When inserting a new link (not annotating on existing text), the suggested
link is capitalised even if your input text isn't, so leading to unexpected
capitalisation of link anchors

The problem is in the link suggester (it's the same behaviour in category and
template selection, except that those always capitalise the first character so
no-one cares.

When you trigger the link inspector on no selection and type in "foo", you are
given suggestions like:

* Foo
* Foobar
* Fooian

Selecting any of these picks not just the target, but also the text of that
target as the anchor (good) and the capitalisation of that target (less good).

However, if I've typed "foo", did I definitely want [[foo]] rather than
[[Foo]]? Should we show both [[Foo]] and [[foo]] options in the list if you
type in "foo", but only [[Foo]] if you type in "Foo"?
