Hi,
How can I turn off case sesitivity of titles in Mediawiki? If there is an article "Number Portability" (capital P), I don't want some other person to create another article "Number portability" (small p).

This is not supported. Several people have reported some success by hacking things up, but this may cause problems.

Hi All,
I am running a Linux server with about 30 wikis, each with its own database instance using MySQL5 on a separate server. I have found that the wiki's search engine will only search for strings 4 characters or more. This is evidently caused by the MySQL's default configuration having full text search indexing limited to a minumum of 4 characters. One of my customers would like their wiki to do 3 character searches.
I have found a good description of how to fix this by modifying the MySQL configuration, rebuilding indexes and restarting MySQL here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Short_words_in_searches but I'm reluctant to bugger with the MySQL server's configuration for just 1 wiki out of 30 we are supporting.
Does anyone have a recommendation for this, such as an extension, to add a separate search engine. I've looked at the Extension Matrix and didn't see anything that was exciting.
Thanks, -Jim
Heya Jim, We've been messing with this around for quiet a while, and we figured that, since the search is done in the MySQL database, the only way to solve it is to change the MySQL configuration and rebuild the indexes. If someone else finds another solution, please let us know as well. Greetz, Tom Maaswinkel Rabobank Nederland

"Currently" not supported ;) I'm hoping to get more headway on my current big project (And hopefully put in in a SVN branch) which is a rewrite of the Title system which will allow for extending of the normalization of titles as well as making titles like _main_Page stay as _main_Page when you save them, despite the fact that they are still the same page as [[Main Page]]. This won't be a big hack, (And will actually clean out a few big hacks that MW is currently using). And most definitely will support making an extension allow full case-insensitive titles while keeping titles non-ugly.
:/ Of course, you'll need to wait for it to be finished... I've got some promising success with it, but it'll need a lot more work before it's good enough for production use. And I need to wait for Simetrical's patch to allow the update script to tag things that it has already finished doing.
For more information and discussion, there is a thread inside of Wikitech-l; "[Wikitech-l] Case insensitive links (not just titles)."

I've had people at work asking for this for the intranet wikis, and very much look forward to it even if it isn't soon.

Are there notes on mediawiki.org about it as yet? For those of us who look there first for frequently-requested features. (No, I'm not dashing off to write them myself.)

No, no notes on it at MediaWiki.org, it hasn't even made it's way into a SVN branch yet (I need to get commit permissions) Perhaps after then it will have a place. Although, while it is working for the database stuff and a class has been created for normalization. There's no real new interfaces or anything for extension yet, other than a hook or two. So there wouldn't be much to place on MW.org anyways ATM.
