             Bug #: 29864
           Summary: Do not capitalize inititial characters in MediaWiki:
                    namespace
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.19-svn
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: User interface
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


Message keys are not capitalized in source files.
They are used as page titles in the MediaWiki: namespace.
Page titles in the MediaWiki: namespace are inital-capitalized, however.

This is inconsistent and hinders copy&paste operations between various
places for message translators and developers, while it is of literally
no value for anyone else.

Thus it should be better avoided, and page titles in the MediaWiki:
namespace generally not be capitalized.

Note: this is about how page titles are shown. There is no reason
not to /find/ them when capitalized in searches, page links, transclusions,
etc.
