==Rationale== |

One intended paradigm of the Wikipedia interface is that you should always be able to copy-paste the title header of a page and immediately obtain a suitable bluelink by enclosing it in double brackets. This was not working with proper nouns such as "eBay" and common nouns such as "buried treasure", both requiring to edit the copy-pasted text afterwards in order to obtain <CODE><NOWIKI>[[eBay]]</NOWIKI></CODE> and <CODE><NOWIKI>[[buried treasure]]</NOWIKI></CODE>. A software change was implemented in July 2007[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2007-07-16/Technology_report] to allow any article whose [[headword]] starts with a lowercase letter to have its title header reflect it. This change prevents any other use or abuse (such as displaying "two" for article "one"). |
