User blog comment:DaNASCAT/Technical Update: October 19, 2015/@comment-24473195-20151020182541

I think that the default behaviour for incoming users from external sites should be auto-redirect, and for users who click the link from within wikia the behaviour should be the current one.

It would also be nice to expand this functionality, for example, adding the case insensitivity that Special pages have, if no other link with the same name exists, automatically redirect to the link.

I know that the url is probably kept as case insensitive to support a wide variety of languages, but it can be incredibly annoying trying to figure out if a page is spelt like "User_blog:DaNASCAT",  or "User_blog:DaNASCaT" or "User_blog:Danascat". As an implementation consider the results of these:


 * Module:Unittests -> Module:UnitTests (wikia)


 * Module:Unittests -> Module:UnitTests (wikipedia)

Wikipedia's page is by far more informative and better. Clicking search automatically searches for a similar page and loads the closest match if it exists.
