My mediawiki 1.17 installation as gone nuts. It is not correctly identifying things where the first letter context has changed. example: Template: tlx call does not find Template:Tlx In the past this has made no difference.
Did you change $wgCapitalLinks to false?
I did indeed, as per the instructions at the WorkingWiki site. I have been advised by the author that it is actually not necessary, but for now the damage is already done, so I will just leave it& clean up the issues. I would appreciate any advice as to which way is best...context sensitive or not. It wont matter once I get finished using templates built by others that I've borrowed from other sites. I intend to never allow content that depends on shortcuts or acronyms and I like the titles of everything to begin with caps. Just a personal thing LOL. Thanks for the reply.
If you prefer titles beginning with caps, you probably prefer $wgCapitalLinks = true. In that case, your WorkingWiki project titles will also begin with capitals, because they're implemented as page titles. Otherwise, as far as I can recall, it makes no difference to WW. I apologize for not being more clear in my installation instructions. I've improved them now.
Did you take a backup before running cleanupCaps.php? If you did take one, you may be able to undo the damage by restoring from backup and changing $wgCapitalLinks back to true.

Only recent changes are installation of the Extension:WorkingWiki. The extension seems to be doing its job though there are some issues with Latex (.sty) sheets. I just do not know if the WorkingWiki, which did alter the editing interface, is the cause. I will be contacting the author re: this.
I don't think Extension:WorkingWiki would have changed the $wgCapitalLinks setting for you, but it's easy to test: Comment the line including the extension and check if it now works.
