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. :/
I disagreed, http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wiktionary-l/2004-May/000018.html Polyglot said it could be done but he would vote against it also: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wiktionary-l/2004-May/000020.html
By the way, how does search handle the existence of pages differing by capitalization? If someone searches for <greek> (v. [1]), which doesn't exist, are they sent to <Greek>, which does? ... Are users who are used to case-insensitive search, or don't know the proper capitalization of the word, sent to <greek> when it is made, when they might have wanted <Greek> better? Will every word where capitalization is semantic have to be made into a disambiguation page?
I would *much* prefer that pages, instead of being case-sensitive, be case-insensitive (even more than they are now, perhaps), with the page title in title case, and the regular capitalization indicated inline, as is now normally done.
