Some of the problems I have noticed

case insensitive is almost always a bad idea.

Care to elaborate?

Personally I still hold the opinion that the entries in the database
should be case insensitive while it should be possible for the creator
of the article/node to capitalize correctly the title of the article.

I see that as solving pretty much all problems, but maybe I'm missing
something.

I have to admit that's mostly what I've done today -
there was
Compiler/Compilers, GCC/Gcc, and Editor/Text
Editors/Using Text Editors

We need to get the message across for members to check
first using the Search facility if a similar page
already exists before creating pages with different
"capitalisations"/"plurals" of articles - frustrating
regularly coming accross almost *duplicated* articles
with slightly different page names along the lines of
different capitalisations/plurals/singulars -
frustrating trying to clean up when redirects are
acting up etc due to an increasing plethora of similar
page names etc etc etc etc etc..

I suspect that many of these pages are created from links within
articles that aren't capitalized the same way/written the same way too...

So when we delete/redirect these pages, we should probably check "what
links here" and see if we can change the incoming links too.

There are cases where case does matter. I guess the trade off
(simplified) comes down to having choice and control vs. making things a
little simpler and easier. On a more trivial note, having a Linux Wiki
that did not respect case (as the OS does) seems odd ;)

This would require either database changes or an extreme
performance penalty.
