I am creating Mediawiki in here.
Everything is going well, but now I want to have some articles to document things that start with a lowercase letter, such as Unix commands: "man", "chmod", "ls", "iPod", etc. I don’t want them to display as Mediawiki tries to make all page titles and article titles begin with an uppercase letter.
Also, I do not want the searches to be case sensitive. I want to find "apple" to find "Apple" etc.
I believe that I have achieved case insensitive by following the instructions from the web page .
I think this is good, but I am a bit dismissive of what I need to do:
Change the page structure of the _pages database by changing the page title type to VARCHAR (255) and changing the sort sequence as utf-8 case-insensitive.
Adding a global function to globalFunctions.php.
Change php code in the wiki skin.
It seems like it should just be a php variable in LocalSettings.php
But it all works. I mean, I can go into the "apple" and he will find the article on "Apple" instead of prompting me to create a new article called "apple".
But then I noticed that the page names were still capitalized for things like a new article, such as an article about "chmod".
I went back to googling and I found a webpage that said that the Mediawiki global variable was used:
$wgAllowDisplayTitle = true;
and that this will allow me to use patterns such as:
{{DISPLAYTITLE:chmod}}
http://www.learnbymac.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chmod
It partially works. The title of the article is now “chmod”, but actually the title in the database is still “Chmod”, which will not be so bad, but when I move to the “Unix” category, all Unix commands will appear starting with an uppercase letter.
I read on the Mediawiki website that beginning a page title with a lowercase letter in any language is prohibited.
I would like my wikipedia to look like they are on my Mac, not case sensitive, but case sensitive.
I know that Mediawiki has to consider every language in the world, but I do not.
I would prefer not to change the structure of my Mediawiki database anymore, but perhaps this was required. I just noticed that the names of the pages not only on the category pages, but also in the title are incorrect when you edit the pages.
Here is a link to the category that lists the headers in the wrong case:
--- Edit ---
I get it. I believe that everything is in order now. I missed the following line in the Mediawiki configuration file called "LocalSettings.php :.
# disable first-letter capitalization of page names $wgCapitalLinks = false;
I know that I did it for the first time. I believe that there have been changes that were saved on my local file system instead of being saved by my text editor, via ftp, to my website.
