Someone has changed the $wgCapitalLinks setting on en.wiktionary.org, causing many thousands of links to break without warning -- far too many for humans to fix up in a reasonable amount of time.
I'm really, really, really annoyed about this, and I'd appreciate it if whoever made this premature change would at least confess to the deed.
Right now I'm working on an automated script to fix up the links. This change should *not* have been made before this script was reaady.

Ok, I've run this: all uppercase pages in the main entry namespace have been renamed to lowercase.
There's still some cleanup work to do -- obviously not all of that _should_ be lowercase (though most of it should!). I'll want a list of prefixes and such for any additional mass corrections that need doing.
Also, I'm running a links refresh in the background to fix up the links tables. Whatlinkshere and similar may give bogus results temporarily.
