I'm not sure if this is the real issue. They are not fighting between
[[no:MmHg]] and [[no:mmHg]] but between [[no:MmHg]] and [[no: mmHg]] :
[[no: mmHg]] until the 23rd was a redirect to [[no:MmHg]] and has
since then been deleted..
I guess here that the issue implied bots finding the redirect in other
wikis, and some not; depending on the set of starting wikis. Then,
with different configurations, some would "fix the redirect", and some
would not.
I really don't think that this is related to DISPLAYTITLE

Hi all,
(I'm re-posting this message because I sent it from the wrong eMail
account.)
The page
http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/MmHg uses a non-capitalized title,
which is realized via {{DISPLAYTITLE:mmHg}}.
This has caused a massive bot editwar, see:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Torr&action=history
Some people are already making fun of this at:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kurier
AFAIK, the standard PyWikipediaBot ignores the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} tag, and
would therefore use [[no:MmHg]]. Are some people (Ptbotgourou, Louperibot,
Loveless, MystBot, SieBot, TXiKiBoT) a modified version which respects
{{DISPLAYTITLE}}? Or is there an older release that behaves different from
the current version?
I don't care if bots set [[no:mmHg]] or [[no:MmHg]], but they should all
work consistently so that there are no edit wars.
Cheers
Daniel
