last time we discussed this, I think there was consensus to switch the English Wiktionary to make it stop capitalising article titles, right?
Guys! Please keep this on the mailing list, and don't reply to me personally. Thanks!
(Maybe the mailing list administrator should set a Reply-To header?)

The idea was that I would write it. (Where else would my involvement in this be? :-p)
Note that there may be an effect on usernames
I'll leave the usernames capitalised, I guess.

Whatever process we choose will require some manual fix-up. The process that you suggest is as good as any.
My suggestion will require significantly less manual fix-up than moving 400,000 articles to lower-case versions manually.
How can we show capitalization when a linked word begins a sentence?
The same way as everywhere else, [[until|Until]].
Is there some way to integrate upper cased, lower cased and accented characters in generated lists?
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by this.
I don't remember it being a consensus at all. I seem to recall some being quite opposed to it.
Really? Can you provide links? I only remember people emphasising that they don't mind because they think the current work-around work perfectly for them. I seriously don't see how anyone can seriously be opposed to having a dictionary with correct spellings. :/
