Maybe someone can think of a way to create automatic links to pages with titles differing just by the case of the first letter? E.g. it would be helpful to have link to "aa" from the article titled "Aa". I have had no success trying to accomplish something like that using the available
means
of mediawiki. That's by the way one of the reasons why not-yet-so-big Estonian wiktionary has not switched over to case-sensitivite first
letters
yet.
There could be use for a magic word similar to PAGENAMEE which would
return
the page title with spaces substituted by '+' characters.
Hi Klaus, as much as I know there is a bot that can revert everything to lower case (see the mails of Biron today). So creating all pages in lower case should be possible without problems.
Thanks Sabine. Well yes, conversion should not be a problem, and a bot could also add those see-also links we were thinking of, step-by-step. We just hoped we could temporarily display a message (possibly using MediaWiki:Sitenotice) suggesting the user to try the alternatives with the alternatives listed as direct links or giving a link to a query that would search for (all kinds of) alternatives.
If you then need help to
have a look at the German words that often have capital initial letters ... let me know.
I noted you already use templates like {{-en-}} so I suppose the category for German is there.
We do not have much German words yet, so those can be dealed with manually.
Do you have a template list somewhere?
We do not have a template guide, although it would be a good idea to have it. You can check the template list at Special:Allpages http://et.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Eri%3AAllpages&from=&name... .
Ciao, Sabine
Tšau :), Klaus.
