This might be a bug, or I might just be confused.
I noticed that when I put in [[common sense]] on a page, it creates a link to a page titled "Common sense" (first letter u.c.). However, when I click on CommonSense and replace it with #REDIRECT [[common sense]], the *latter* creates a link to a page titled "common sense" (first letter l.c.).
I would prefer to be able to title the page "common sense", actually. And I *can*--by using a redirection page (!)--I just can't link to the "common sense" page by using a [[common sense]] link on a regular page (because that will point to "Common sense". Another problem is that I must rework my redirection pages from "[[common sense]]" to "[[Common sense]]" or else all the old CommonSense links will be broken (because they will point to "common sense" instead of "Common sense".
What should I do? I'm sure at least ONE person will understand the above. :-)

I think that this is, in part anyway, a feature not a bug.
I know that Clifford forces the upper case in hopes of having more 'accidental linking'.
The idea is that 'Common sense' and 'common sense' should point to the same thing. It doesn't matter if it is at the beginning of a sentence or not, see.
