Hello, I am developing an extension to import Word documents to MediaWiki. I've noticed that Mediawiki is case sensitive. If, for example, import a page with the title "The future of tv" and re-import the same page with the corrected title "The future of TV" mediawiki creates two separate pages for each import.
Is this normal? How would you solve this problem?
regards, Ramon

Yes, MediaWiki is case-sensitive except for the first letter. First-letter case insensitivity is configurable.
How would you solve this problem?
Redirects.
