Details
Set this to false to avoid forcing the first letter of page titles (including included pages, images and categories) to capitals. WARNING: may break links! This makes links COMPLETELY case-sensitive. Links appearing with a capital at the beginning of a sentence will not go to the same place as links in the middle of a sentence using a lowercase initial; typically the former has to become a link with a separate display title (e.g. [[Page|page]]). After setting this to false, run cleanupCaps.php to fix the existing links that will be broken.
$wgCapitalLinkOverrides can override this setting on a per namespace basis.On Wiktionary projects of all languages, this setting is disabled, but enabled on all other Wikimedia projects except a few Wikipedia languages listed in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php (Lojban, Paiwan, Sakizaya and Atayal as of 2022).
