Wikipedia:List of pages whose correct title is not allowed by MediaWiki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Mattworld (talk | contribs) at 23:48, 8 December 2003 (remove NSYNC (will re-add if title of this page is changed)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

On Wikipedia, a page cannot start with a lowercase letter. This is usually not a problem, however, some titles are designed to only be lowercase (see Capitalization), resulting in pages with capital first letters that should be lowercase. This occurs most often in technology-related articles.

For example, the name of the page where the eBay article resides is "EBay". This is incorrect, but the Wikipedia software offers no way to fix this.

Some of these pages begin with the letter i or e, with the e often standing for "electronic" and the i often standing for "Internet." Others are Unix or DOS commands, which are usually written in all lower case. The list also includes several programs and names designed to be written in all lower case.
