Links to user pages of the wiki

Post by billyswong »

I found that for people who don't have a username with the first character capitalized, the user page won't be linked from the username link properly. I set up my user page on the wiki but my name is still color red on various auto-generated pages like recent changes, history, etc. If I click on it, it shows me the edit page, not exactly the user page.

Perhaps an automatic translation from [[User:somebody|somebody]] to [[User:Somebody|somebody]] will help.

Mediawiki itself don't have this problem - their original register/login system changes my username to Billyswong right at the beginning (in Wikipedia, at least).

MediaWiki will support case-sensitive first characters of pages/usernames in one of the next versions.
The problem (in this case) is that our login system does support case sensitive usernames.
