Svip is right, of course ... (my morning caffiene had not taken effect yet). Apache
should also not have anything to do with the capitalizations of the page names on the
page. If all extensions were removed/disabled then either something was left behind, such
as a modification in the includes directory, or an extension has modified the database. Do
pages created after disabling the extensions have this behavior?
A fresh install of mediawiki would help clear some of this up. If a fresh install does
not have this behavior, then your Mediawiki or the database has been modified, most likely
by an extension.
As for whether its MySQL I don't see how since Mediawiki, or the extensions, control
what goes in and what comes out.
Back to the caffiene...

I agree. If you disabled all extensions (make sure
you also changed back any Mediawiki files
you may have modified due to a requirement of an extension), then its not a Mediawiki

and most likely an Apache configuration issue. You also might want to install a fresh
Mediawiki
instance so you can see if you get this behavior "out of the box" with
Mediawiki. If you do then
that also points to Apache. I'm not an Apache expert though, so have no idea what
type of
Apache configuration might cause this.
What? How is this in any way an Apache issue? Apache tells MediaWiki
the correct title, and MediaWiki somehow decides to respond with the
title being a-okay.
If it was an Apache issue, then why does MediaWiki think that the page
title is BIOWIKI here[1]? It even takes the effort of linking to a
talk page that does not exist and colours the link red as it should.
Or does MediaWiki use LOWER() in its SQL, but use the $_GET['title']
for its links, rather than using the {{PAGENAME}} given by the table?
Also, you appear to have your version installed via subversion,[2] I
am certain r86390 is that different from the MediaWiki 1.16.4
available on
mw.org (which does not have this bug).
