--- Comment #8 from Chris McKenna <[email protected]> ---
The best thing, as noted at 48789, is for there to be two input boxes - one for
the link target and one for the displayed text. 
Until that happens I think we should preserve the case of the input, as even if
that isn't what people want it is easily possible to change and pretty
intuitive how to do it - ie, type "foo" get "[[foo]]" but wanted "[[Foo]]", all
you need to do is type "Foo" instead. The current behaviour means you get
"[[Foo]]" regardless of what you want or do.

When the second input box is added then we should use the case as input as the
default. 

The only other thing I can think of is for VE to read and respect things like
{{lowercase title}}. Once it does that then it should also respect things like
{{correct title}} for a default display text, and we should probably create a
{{Proper noun title}} for titles that should always be capitalised by default.
Or rather than using templates we could move the title information into page
metadata. I have no idea whether any of this is practical, but if it is I guess
it would be better as one or maybe two separate bugs.
