Reminder: we talked before about setting up the search engine so that it would disregard the use or misuse of capital letters, but it doesn't look like you have implemented this feature. Am wondering of you would consider it. Wikipedia doesn't require the use of the capital letters, and everyone is going to be used to searching for things here the way they do on Wikipedia. I tried to get a friend to look up the article on the [[Count of Dendtler]] over the phone two days ago, but it turned out she wasn't typing using a capital D ("[[Count of dendtler]]", some of my friends are more difficult than others) and so had a very hard time getting to the article, and this is just one instance with which I happen to be familiar. I am sure there are countless others! So do consider it, yes? Thanks!

:I've noticed that issue, as well. It hasn't bugged me too much, since the article you intended should pop up as the first search result. That said, it is a change that is probably worth making--[[User:DukeBearPeninsula|DukeBearPeninsula]] ([[User talk:DukeBearPeninsula|talk]]) 18:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC) | :I've noticed that issue, as well.

== EW namespace? == | |||
Hey, on Wikimedia Foundation sites the search options include the possibility of including prefixes like "WP" for Wikipedia and "COM" for Commons, followed by a colon and then a relevant page title for a policy page or such. Does it take anything to establish something like this for us? Perhaps "EW" for Encyclopedia Westarctica? Or do we already have something like this which links to policy pages? I have this sense that we do, but I am not sure how it is accessed. We do have the "Category" prefix. Is there a list? | |||
While I have your attention, is there a directory on here of Westarctica heraldic devices? I didn't see a link to one under the heraldry article. | |||
Lastly, about those capital letters.... It still annoys me that they matter. Am (still) hoping one day this will get changed. My fingers remain therefore crossed. | |||
