Why don't you just turn off the capitalisation in all Wiktionaries?

Yes maybe this would be useful, but also a lot of work for existing entries. [...] But I think you have to ask the local communities if they do agree.

I don't really think there is any doubt that all Wiktionaries should be case-sensitive. The only reason people are reluctant to just imposing that change is because a few people on the English Wiktionary who didn't really understand what this means voiced some bogus but very vocal opposition.

I think it is important to make this change as soon as possible so that it is less work for the relevant Wiktionary community. If it is delayed, and the Wiktionary grows in the meantime, there is much more stuff to be fixed later.

Notice that I am not even a particularly regular contributor to Wiktionary. I'm not saying this because I think it makes my life easier or anything, but because I think that it is the right thing to do for Wiktionary. There is no real relevance in what language the Wiktionary is in.
