As to capitalisation; any paper dictionary does not capitalise the words that are in there unless they are capitalised as a rule. It is due to some unfortunate history that it took so long to change the English wiktionary. There are currently 19 articles in the African wiktionary, Jcwf may want to use the same system of templates that are used in many of the other wiktionaries. To do this it helps to have capitalisation turned off.
I second his request to turn capitalisation on the af.wiktionary off.
Personally, I was just passing on a request that appeared on the en:wiktionary Beer parlour. Naturally, I support it just as I supported the change in English. A more important and more general question might be what should the default situation be when a new Wiktionary is started. This will even be important for Wiktionaries is scripts where capitalization is unknown, since they too will include foreign words.
Yes, I agree with that. All new Wiktionaries should have capitalization off by default.
