Anyone have other ideas/suggestions?
Here's one that's almost unrelated, but your post has reminded me of it. We've had a number of requests for titles with an initial lowercase letter. I would like to see a checkbox next to "Watch this article" on the edit page, labelled "Title starts with lowercase letter". Clicking on "save" with this checked would set a flag in the cur table, instructing getPrefixedText() to set the initial letter to lowercase. So [[IMac]] and [[iMac]] still go to the same place, but when the software has to display the title, it comes out as [[iMac]].
Alternately you could just have a link in the sidebar, like for page protection -- but please make sure the change is registered in RC.
IMHO there is no sense to have 2 articles that differ only by capitalization - there should be some "canonical" form, but all links, no matter what capitalization they have, should go to the same article.
That's exactly what Tim is proposing - the only change is that the canonical form can be decided for each word separately rather than being always said at 'with capital'.
Well, I'm more concerned about "UNIX" vs. "Unix".
