Updating summary to hopefully capture the issue better.

Basically, in turkish the page [[i]] = [[İ]], where the page [[ı]] -= [[I]].
Thus doing {{DISPLAYTITLE:{{lcfirst:{{PAGENAME}}}}}} won't work, since the
target of {{lcfirst:IPhone}} (which is iPhone) does not have the same canonical
name as IPhone (So the displaytitle restrictions come into affect).

I'm not sure if this is an issue that should be fixed as in Turkish, the
lowercase of I is generally not i (from what I read on 'pedia), except for in
circumstances such as iPhone where a foreign word is involved. It might make
sense however to just put $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false; for tr. (It can't be
that bad, any wiki using language converter can already get around the display
title restrictions)


As an aside, the Turkish language file is kind of interesting. Only the ucfirst
is overridden to make i -> İ. uc (in general without the first) puts i -> I,
and the lowercase functions all just inherit the standard lc, which puts I ->
i. That is perhaps something that should be changed, but I don't know enough
about the language to know if that's actually as wrong as I think it is. (and
its somewhat beside the point for the issue reported above).
