Details

uppercaseTitlesForUnicodeTransition.php is a maintenance script that renames titles when changing behavior of Language::ucfirst() . This script skips User and User_talk pages for registered users, as renaming of users is too complex to try to implement here. Use something like Extension:Renameuser to clean those up; this script can provide a list of user names affected.

Options/Arguments

Option Description Required? Default
--charmap Character map generated by maintenance/language/generateUcfirstOverrides.php <translate> Required</translate>
--user System user to use to do the renames. <translate> Optional</translate> User:Maintenance script
--steal If the username specified by --user exists, specify this to force conversion to a system user. <translate> Optional</translate>
--run If not specified, the script will not actually perform any moves (i.e. it will dry-run). <translate> Optional</translate>
--prefix When the new title already exists, add this prefix. <translate> Optional</translate>
--suffix When the new title already exists, add this suffix <translate> Optional</translate>
--reason Reason to use when moving pages. <translate> Optional</translate>
--tag Change tag to apply when moving pages. <translate> Optional</translate>
